Above is the image of the temperature and pressure level in main States of Matter found today..
Friends you must have learned in schools the 3 states of matter solid liquid and gases. Then as we grew up and took up for higher classes we got to know about more states of matters (like Plasma-Bose Einstein condensate-Quantum etc),but its obvious many of you must be knowing it from highschool days..atleast i was not such a genius boy...
For more information on States of Matter you can visit this wikipedia link below..it can give you the basics of all the states of matter found yet... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_states_of_matter
Friends do you know that there are about 15 to 20 states of matter(atleast of which i know) that exisit today. Even the basics one ie; the solid liquid and gas have their sub catagories..soilds have 4 sub catagories and liquids have 2..
A new partical was discovered recently which works on an Electrostatic Coulomb Force called as 'EXCITONIUM'..
This new form of matter ‘excitonium’ exhibits microscopic quantum phenomenon like a superconductor and is formed of 'excitons'..
What are Exitons?
- When an electron which is seated at the edge of the crowded electron valence band gets excited and jumps over the energy gap into an empty conduction band, its leaves behind a hole in the valence band.
- The hole in the valence band acts as a positively charged particle and attracts the escaped electron.
- When the escaped electron with negative charge pairs with the hole, a composite bosonic particle – 'EXITON' is formed.
If you are still confused about the Excitonium, you can see this video below the explaination here is perfectly explained via live slides...
