Abstract
The electron-hole droplet nucleation in highly excited direct gap semiconductors is a nonequilibrium phase transition of second order. Within the framework of a Fokker-Planck approximation, modifications of the thermodynamic phase diagram and the cluster distribution function are calculated. Due to the short lifetime of the electronic excitations, only very small electron-hole clusters can be formed.
