Popis:	It is shown that the homogeneous state of the spatially separated electrons and holes in coupled quantum wells (CQW) is instable if the layer charge density is smaller than the critical value $$n_{c}$$ specified by the parameters of the CQW. The effect is due to the many-body Coulomb correlations that provide the positive compressibility. The instability results in the formation of the inhomogeneous system that comprises the liquid electron–hole drops.
