An attempt is made to account for the effect of the size of a diquark
in exploring the possibility that the pairs of quarks will form diquar
k clusters in a quark-gluon plasma. It is found that the extended scal
ar diquarks are distributed more uniformly in the spatial volume than
the point diquarks. Although the qualitative features of the pressure-
energy density curve remain more or less the same except for small val
ues of energy density, but there appears further lowering of the diqua
rk gas energy in the present case as compared not only to that of the
point diquark but also of a free quark gas.
