Abstract:
Dirac cloud is in absence in general relativity since the superradiance mechanism fails to work for Dirac fields. For the first time, we find a novel mechanism to support Dirac clouds, which is independent on superradiance mechanism. We study quasibound states of Dirac particles around a charged spherical black hole in dilatonic gravity. We find that the quasibound states become real bound states when the central black hole becomes extremal. We make an intensive study of the energy spectrum of the stationary clouds for different fine structure constant μM and reveal the existence condition of these clouds. Our result strongly implies that extreme dilatonic black holes behave as elementary particles.

Detection of Black Holes
Their closest cousins are neutron stars, which are composed almost entirely of neutrons packed against each other, making them extremely dense. A neutron star has the same mass as the Sun but its diameter is only a few kilometers. Therefore, the escape velocity from their surface is close to the speed of light.
Not until the 1960s, when the first neutron...
Schwarzschild Radius and Event Horizon
The minimum speed required to launch a projectile from the surface of an object to which it is gravitationally bound so that it eventually escapes the object’s gravitational field is called the escape velocity. The escape velocity is independent of the mass of the object. Merging the idea of escape...
Electric Field of a Charged Disk
The system's symmetry is in the cylindrical directions across the plane of the charge. As a result, the electric fields created by various surface charge elements nullify each other in the direction parallel to the surface. Thereby, the resulting electric field is perpendicular to the plane. Since the disk is...
