Solid State Plasmas

A plasma can be created by heating a gas or subjecting it to a strong electromagnetic field applied with a laser or microwave generator. This decreases or increases the number of electrons, creating positive or negative charged particles called ions, and is accompanied by the dissociation of molecular bonds, if present. The conditions for the existence of plasma wave instabilities in the plasma formed by the electrons and holes in semiconductors are discussed. The dispersion relations for both the high-frequency optical mode in which electrons and holes move out of phase, and the low-frequency acoustic mode in which electrons and holes move in phase are calculated.
