Abstract
A novel carrier-acoustic instability is predicted for quasi-one-dimensional plasmas in semiconductor quantum wires with nonequilibrium carrier distributions. The complete collective excitation spectrum of the one-dimensional quantum plasma is obtained solving the complex dispersion relation in the random-phase approximation.
