Non-equilibrium phase transitions in semiconductors due to impact ionization from traps have been obtained theoretically, and are discussed in detail. They include first and second order phase transitions, and develop previous work, which was restricted to second order phase transitions involving band-band processes. The models include switching transitions from non-conducting to conducting states, and from n- to p-type states. They furnish simple illustrations of the general principle that a system which is driven far from equilibrium can exhibit new stable steady states.

AbstractWe review recent theoretical progress in the physical understanding of far-from-equilibrium phenomena seen experimentally in epitaxial growth and erosion on crystal surfaces. The formation and dynamics of various interface structures (pyramids, ripples, etc.), and also kinetic phase transitions observed between these structures, can all be understood within a simple continuum model based on the mass conservation law and respecting the symmetries of the growing crystal surface. In particular, theoretical predictions and experimental results are compared for (001), (110) and (111) crystal surfaces.
