Abstract

A unified approach is presented which reconciles contradictory results obtained in earlier studies of optical spectra of inhomogeneous electronic systems in semiconductors: A consistent analysis of the optical data implies strong deviations from quasi-equilibrium in the carrier distributions. The non-equilibrium nature of the plasma is confirmed by a Mott-transition based study of the plasma transport.
