Abstract

The electron-hole droplet nucleation in highly excited direct gap semiconductors is a non-equilibrium 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.
