SUMMARY
The maximal possible density of stable electron-hole gas in metals or solid bodies is constrained by thermodynamic equilibrium principles. At room temperature, the density cannot exceed that of common metals like copper due to recombination effects and thermal fluctuations. Discussions indicate that achieving densities significantly higher than copper's is theoretically challenging, primarily due to these limiting factors. The consensus is that while high densities are desirable for applications, practical limitations exist.
