a proposed insulating phase in which electrons and holes spontaneously bind into excitons that condense, opening a gap in a semimetal or narrow-gap semiconductor.

In condensed matter physics, excitonic insulator refers to a proposed insulating phase in which electrons and holes spontaneously bind into excitons that condense, opening a gap in a semimetal or narrow-gap semiconductor. This meaning comes from Jérome (1967) in Physical Review.[1]
