Interaction of Nonequilibrium Phonons With Electron-Hole Plasmas in Germanium (Liquid, Excitons, Phase Diagram)

Abstract

dc:description

This thesis presents results of experiments on the interaction of phonons and photo-excited electron-hole plasmas in Ge at low temperature. The first two studies involve the low temperature fluid phase known as the electron-hole liquid (EHL). The third study involves a wider range of temperatures and includes the higher temperature electron-hole plasma (EHP).
