Research exposition (monographs, survey articles) pertaining to statistical mechanics (82-02) Stochastic methods (Fokker-Planck, Langevin, etc.) applied to problems in time-dependent statistical mechanics (82C31) Statistical mechanics of plasmas (82D10) Statistical mechanics of semiconductors (82D37)

Abstract: The quantum Boltzmann equation, or Fokker-Planck equation, has been used to successfully explain a number of experiments in semiconductor optics in the past two decades. This paper reviews some of the developments of this work, including models of excitons in bulk materials, electron-hole plasmas, and polariton gases.
