Change of variables, Fermi Integral
This is a really basic question, but I'm kind of confused.
I have this integral
$$\int_{0}^{\infty}\frac{p^{2}dp}{e^{\alpha+\beta p^{2}/2m}+1}$$
where ...

Partition function of bosons vs fermions
I have two atoms, both of which are either bosons or fermions, with four allowed energy states: $E_1 = 0$, $E_2 = E$, $E_3 = 2E$, with degeneracies 1, 1, 2 respectively.
What's the difference between ...

Fock picture of bosonification in condensates
I want to understand how bosonification in a condensate must be interpreted in the Fock states picture
Say i have uncoupled fermions in a set of states $E_1$, $E_2$ ... over the vacuum $E_0$. They ...

Limit of Fermi-Dirac distribution as $T$ goes to zero
Hopefully this is a simple question, I just can't seem to get my mind around it.
I'm to take the limit of the Fermi-Dirac distribution for $T \rightarrow 0$.
In this limit the chemical potential is ...

How is the dynamic equilibrium nature of fermi-dirac distribution of particles facilitated?
I read this in Kittel: Introduction to Solid State Physics about deriving that product of electron and hole concentration as independent at a given temperature by the law of mass action.
For this ...

Is ground energy of interacting fermions always higher that that of bosons?
Consider two systems, each made of $N$ particles. In both systems particles interact pairwise and the interaction is given by the same Hamiltonian for both systems. Any other constraints and/or ...
