Abstract

A self-consistent method for an estimate of band gap renormalization induced by multicomponent electron-hole plasma is presented. The calculations are performed by quasi-static plasmon pole approximation in many-body theory. The method is applied to GaSb within a wide range of electron-hole density and at low and high temperature.
