From: A novel model for the interpretation of the unidentified infrared (UIR) bands from interstellar space: deexcitation of Rydberg Matter
Quote: "Thus in the laboratory, it is sufficient to heat a graphite or other surface with a graphite layer, or a metal oxide surface, to rapidly form Rydberg states of alkali metal impurities, which then condense to form Rydberg clusters and RM clusters. A rather lowintensity visible light is also shown to desorb Rydberg states and to form RM. These states also have catalytic effects and transfer their energy to gas molecules to form Rydberg states and RM. It is likely that the same processes take place in the ISM at particle surfaces at much lower temperatures, since the quenching rate of the Rydberg species is lower due to the much lower density."
