- TL;DR Summary
- Electrons tend to be repelled by electromagnetic interactions and cannit be attracted by gravity as it is a much weaker interaction. However, at low temperatures, can they be in a stable configuration by other interactions like magnetic ones?
If you have many free electrons forming a cloud they wouldn't last too much as they would be repelled from each other due to electromagnetic forces. Gravity wouldn't help since it is much weaker than electromagnetic force, so electrons would still fly away
However, can they be stabililized by magnetic forces arising between electrons? Or perhaps, could they form a Fermi liquid [1] (at sufficiently low temperatures) that could interact with one another to form stable quasiparticles for an indefinite time (if no external perturbations exist) and that could in turn form also stable Cooper pairs as temperature approaches close to zero?
