Fermi introduced here for the first time the statistical law obeyed by most of the particles in nature: Fermi-Dirac statistics. The formalism that he used is based on the quantization of the monoatomic ideal gas in a harmonic trap. This trappping configuration is similar to that used in current experiments on trapped Fermi gases.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "1999-12-14T01:24:53.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "monoatomic ideal gas", "quantization", "enrico fermi", "first time", "original work" ], "note": { "typesetting": "LaTeX", "pages": 6, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "1999cond.mat.12229Z" } } }
