Experimental Studies and Observations of Clusters of Rydberg Matter and Its Extreme Forms

Abstract: A review is given of experimental studies of clusters of Rydberg matter (RM) with applications. This is a metallic type of matter with angular momentum l C 1 for the conduction band electrons. The atoms in RM can be one-electron atoms like K, H and D which are most used in the laboratory, or two-electron atoms like He. Mixed clusters of one-electron atoms are easily studied. This material is stable in a vacuum both in the laboratory and in interstellar space. The large stability is valid for the lowest excitat… Show more

“…Phyllosilicates (see Figure 3) have also been proposed as binary automata and as nonrectangular lattice analogs of "Conway's Game of Life" cellular automata: in the clay each node updates its state in a discrete time, depending on a sum of states of its three (silicon) and six (oxygen) neighbors (Adamatzky, 2013). In this framework, the origin of chirality of bio-molecules has been related to so called Rydberg matter, which are highly excited clusters of atoms with one valence electron of a principal quantum number n >>1, that generate circularly polarized light and are present in the higher atmosphere (Holmlid, 2012).…”

“…Light in condensed matter in the upper atmosphere is probably the origin of homochirality, related to circularly polarized light from Rydberg matter (Holmlid, 2012). Clouds of the condensed excited Rydberg matter (RM) exist in the atmosphere of Earth and the circular Rydberg electrons in the magnetic field in the RM may be chiral scatterers.…”

Ultra-dense deuterium (UDD) was reported in Refs.…”
