A theory is developed for the evolution of the non-equilibrium distribution of quasiparticles when the scattering rate decreases due to particle collisions. We propose a "modified one-collision approximation" which is most effective for…
Measured values of the brightness temperature of low-frequency synchrotron radiation emitted by powerful extragalactic sources reach 10^11--10^12 K. If some amount of nonrelativistic ionized gas is present within such sources, it should be…
The interplay between the illuminated excitation of carriers and subsequent thermalization and recombination leads to the formation of non-equilibrium distributions for the "hot" carriers and to heating of both electrons, holes and phonons.…

Compton scattering of low-frequency radiation by an isotropic distribution of (i) mildly and (ii) ultra relativistic electrons is considered. It is shown that the ensemble-averaged differential cross-section in this case is noticeably…
The original Shockley-Read-Hall recombination statistics is extended to include recombination of localized excitations. The recombination is treated as a bimolecular process rather than a monomolecular recombination of excitons. The…
In the superconducting state, the presence of a finite gap in the excitation spectrum implies that the number of excitations (quasiparticles) is exponentially small at temperatures well below the critical one. Conversely, minute…
