Which risk increases when high-energy photons strike semiconductors used in spacecraft solar panels?

💡 Explanation

Crystal lattice dislocations occur because incident photons with sufficient energy cause displacement by the Compton scattering mechanism within the semiconductor. This damages the lattice, therefore reducing performance, rather than enhancing it or altering emission characteristics uniformly as predicted by more basic models.
