Abstract

Luminescence spectra of sufficiently pure n-type indium antimonide crystals (N D−N A=(1–22)·1014 cm−3) in a magnetic field of up to 56 kOe, at temperatures of 1.8–2 K, and high optical pumping densities (more than 100 W/cm2) have been studied. More evidence of the existence of electron-hole liquid stabilized by magnetic field has been obtained, and its basic thermodynamic parameters as functions of magnetic field have been measured. When the magnetic field increases from 23 to 55.2 kOe, the liquid density increases from 3.2·1015 to 6.7·1015 cm−3, the binding energy per electron-hole pair rises from 3.0 to 5.2 meV, and the binding energy with respect to the ground exciton level (work function of an exciton in the liquid) rises from 0.43 to 1.2 meV.
