“…The conduction band electrons in RM in general are excited and delocalized, but in D(1) and D(−1) the electrons are in their lowest energy state which is more complex than for RM in general due to the special quantum mechanical properties. In RM, the potential for the conduction electrons is neither central due to the similar distances to several ions, nor of the form 1/r [17]. This means that the only good quantum numbers are the orbital quantum number l and electron and nuclear spin quantum numbers.…”

“…This means that the only good quantum numbers are the orbital quantum number l and electron and nuclear spin quantum numbers. To distinguish between the quantum numbers for free atoms and the condensed phase, the excitation level n B (B for Bohr model) is introduced, numerically equal to the orbital electron angular momentum l. RM at excitation levels n B = 3 − 8 is normally observed in the form of planar six-fold symmetric clusters with magic numbers N = 7, 19, 37, 61, and 91 [17,18]. Independent proof of Rydberg (RM) species formation at alkali promoted catalyst surfaces used as RM emitters exists [19][20][21].…”

“…A correct time-dependent quantum mechanical description, of course, provides the best model, but it is probably necessary to use a pilot-wave description 28 to correctly understand the system at the classical limit. 6 The electrons in the conduction band in the finite RM clusters have excited states giving transitions in the same energy range as the possible nuclear vibrations. This is a further clear indication that the motions of the electrons and nuclei cannot be easily separated.…”
