Multifilament and multidomain stationary states in a hot electron-hole plasma in GaAs
Kerner B. S. , Sinkevich V. F.
An electron-hole plasma in GaAs which is heated by a field initially stratifies along the direction perpendicular to the field at room temperature. This stratification results in the formation of numerous current filaments. As the voltage across the sample is increased, these filaments become stratified along the field direction into domains (striations), and the sample becomes filled with plasma "droplets."
