WHETHER the mesotron obeys Bose-Einstein or Fermi-Dirac statistics is closely associated with what one assumes regarding the nature of the field, emission and absorption of which by the heavy particle ...

Within large systems of identical fermions, Fermi-Dirac statistics describes how identical fermions may never occupy the same quantum state. First introduced by Italian physicist, Enrico Fermi, this ...

IT was a signal contribution to the chance of an experimental test of the Fermi-Dirac statistics when Bloch 1 included the interaction of the electrons and the lattice in the representation of a metal ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract Motivated by recent experiments probing anomalous surface states of Dirac semimetals (DSMs) Na₃Bi and Cd₃As₂, we raise the question posed in ...

Urbana, IL -- Fundamental research in condensed matter physics has driven tremendous advances in modern electronic capabilities. Transistors, optical fiber, LEDs, magnetic storage media, plasma ...

Three decades ago, a British documentary series named Connections aired, which showed viewers how various scientific achievements and discoveries were really interrelated, no matter how disparate they ...

A team of Brown University researchers has shown a new method of probing the properties of anyons, strange quasiparticles that could be useful in future quantum computers. In research published in the ...

Physicist Dam Thanh Son, University Professor at the University of Chicago, has been awarded the 2018 ICTP Dirac Medal for his contributions to revolutionizing human understanding of how quantum ...

What was Christopher Nolan thinking? In directing “Oppenheimer,” which has garnered 13 Academy Award nominations, Nolan relegates Enrico Fermi — the true architect of the nuclear age — to a bit part.

Since the development of graphene and the discovery that its electrons act as Dirac fermions, many other 2D materials have been investigated. Like graphene, it has long been a wonder as to whether ...
