Extreme Condition #1:
Reduced Dimensionality
2-dimensional electrons
![Page 3: Stalking the Exciton Condensate: Exotic Behavior of Electrons Under Extreme Conditions Melinda Kellogg Jim Eisenstein Ian Spielman Loren Pfeiffer Ken](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052307/5513b99555034653298b4629/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Two-Dimensional Electrons
Electron motion is constrained to only 2 dimensions
e-e-

• At the surfaces of metals
• At the surface of liquid Helium
• AND inside specially engineered semiconductor crystals . . .
Two-dimensional electrons exist:
