This volume examines a timely problem in solid state physics, the condensation of ex citons in semiconductors. The papers in this volume describe a new approach to the study of exciton condensation based on microwave-frequency conductivity and the breakdown of an ex citon gas in a microwave field, an effect discovered by the authors. These methods have been used in extensive studies of germanium and have produced important new data about the con densation process. In addition to the experimental data, a theory is presented for the micro wave breakdown of excitons in the presence of electron-hole droplets. Also included are three articles devoted to the experimental aspects of low-temperature semiconductor research. This volume will interest scientists and engineers involved· with research in solid state physics.
