Superfluidity of Hydrogenlike Gas in a Strong Magnetic Field ?

Abstract

The recent claim that in a strong magnetic field hydrogenlike gas (e.g., excitons in certain semiconductors, neutron star surface layers) becomes superfluid is refuted. Molecules form by strong covalent bond along the magnetic field axis, which prohibits Bose-Einstein condensation.
