At sufficiently high pumping levels, carrier densities of more than 2 × 10 17 cm −3 can be produced in doped Ge or small crystals of intrinsic Ge. As a result, the crystal can be entirely filled with a degenerate electron–hole plasma. With increasing temperature this system does not undergo a phase transition to a low density free exciton gas, even at temperatures above the critical point.
