Abstract
Luminescence spectra of high-purity GaP at high pump intensity demonstrate the existence of an electron-hole-liquid phase. Line-shape analysis yields for the liquid density and meV for the liquid binding energy in agreement with theoretical values. The liquid critical temperature is estimated to be K.
