“…This can occur when the inhomogeneities have sizes comparable to or larger than the incident wavelength. Another suggested possibility for the preparation, study and detection of ultra-cold plasma and RM is to use a magneto-optical trap [55]. The experimental set-up included a Zeeman slower, and lasers to cool, excite and probe the atoms.…”

A condensed excited matter called Rydberg Matter (RM) have been studied experimentally for 30 years, but have not sparked widespread attention yet, unlike ordinary Rydberg atoms. RM formed by clusters of Rydberg atoms at a solid surface have a longer lifetime compared to Rydberg atoms, and is liquid-like. This review describes how the RM state is generated, and its potential applications. These include using RM for research into catalysis, space phenomena and sensor applications, or for producing environmentally friendly energy. A background on RM is presented, with its structure and special properties, and the working principle of RM generation. The experimental set-ups, materials, and detectors used are discussed, together with methods to improve the amount of RM produced. The materials used for the catalysts are of special interest, as this should have a large influence on the energy of the RM, and therefore also on the applications. Currently most of the catalysts used are potassium doped iron oxide designed for styrene production, which should give the possibility of improvements. And as there is little knowledge on the exact mechanisms for RM formation, suggestions are given as to where research should start.

“…To cool and trap the 7 Li atoms after the Zeeman slower we used two cooling diode lasers with fixed frequencies ν c and ν op : the main cooling laser and the re-pumping laser. Parameters of our MOT are described in [3,[12][13][14]. In our experiment the intensities of the laser cooling beams inside the vacuum chamber were 0.04 and 0.02 W cm −2 .…”
