Action of thermal pulses on the radiation of electron-hole droplets in germanium

A rapid quenching of the recombination radiation of the droplets, accompanying the appearance of a dense plasma in the material, was observed when a stream of phonons, generated by a thermal contact, acts on a system of electron-hole droplets (EHD's) in germanium. It is shown that these effects are caused by the removal of the droplets to the surface of the material and their destruction there.
