fermi-dirac statistics
81Probability of occupation — In condensed matter physics, the probability of occupation shows how likely it is for a given energy level to be occupied. Fermions such as electrons follow a Fermi Dirac distribution and bosons such as phonons and photons follow a Bose Einstein… …

83Electronic band structure — In solid state physics, the electronic band structure (or simply band structure) of a solid describes ranges of energy that an electron is forbidden or allowed to have. It is due to the diffraction of the quantum mechanical electron waves in the… …
84Entropy — This article is about entropy in thermodynamics. For entropy in information theory, see Entropy (information theory). For a comparison of entropy in information theory with entropy in thermodynamics, see Entropy in thermodynamics and information… …
85BRST quantization — In theoretical physics, BRST quantization (where the BRST refers to Becchi, Rouet, Stora and Tyutin) is a relatively rigorous mathematical approach to quantizing a field theory with a gauge symmetry. Quantization rules in earlier QFT frameworks… …
86Carrier generation and recombination — In the solid state physics of semiconductors, carrier generation and recombination are processes by which mobile electrons and electron holes are created and eliminated. Carrier generation and recombination processes are fundamental to the… …
87Neutron drip line — The neutron drip line is a concept in particle and nuclear physics. An unstable atomic nucleus beyond the neutron drip line will leak free neutrons. In other words, the neutron drip line is the line on the Z, N plane (see table of nuclides) where …
88Nuclear drip line — In nuclear physics, the boundaries for nuclear particle stability are conceptualized as drip lines. The nuclear landscape is understood by plotting boxes, each of which represents a unique nuclear species, on a graph with the number of neutrons… …
89Thermal de Broglie wavelength — In physics, the Thermal de Broglie wavelength is defined for a free ideal gas of massive particles in equilibrium as:: Lambda = sqrt{frac{ h^2}{ 2pi mkT = frac {h} {(2 pi mkT)^{1/2where* h is Planck s constant * m is the mass of a gas particle *… …
