List of things named after Enrico Fermi
Enrico Fermi (1901–1954), an Italian-born, naturalized American physicist, is the eponym of the topics listed below.
Physics
- Fermi (unit), unit of length in particle physics equivalent to the femtometre
- Fermi's interaction, an explanation of the beta decay. Not to be confused with:
- Fermi contact interaction,the magnetic interaction between an electron and an atomic nucleus when the electron is inside that nucleus.
- Fermi Arc, a phenomenon in superconductivity
- Fermi constant, constant that gives the strength of Fermi's interaction
- Fermi energy
- Fermi Paradox, a fundamental issue in SETI
- Fermi gas
- Fermi liquid theory
- Fermi level
- Quasi Fermi level, also called imref which is "fermi" spelt backwards
- Fermi heap and Fermi hole
- Fermi point
- Fermi's golden rule
- Fermi motion, the quantum motion of nucleons bound inside a nucleus
- Fermi resonance
- Fermi surface
- Fermi acceleration
- Fermi–Pustyl'nikov model, a model of the Fermi acceleration mechanism
- Fermi glow
- Fermi–Walker transport
- Fermi–Dirac statistics
- Fermion, the class of particles that obey Fermi-Dirac statistics, a name coined by Dirac in 1945
- Fermium, a synthetic element with symbol Fm and atomic number 100.
- Fermionic field
- Thomas–Fermi model
- Thomas–Fermi screening, an approximate method for describing screening of electric field by mobile charge
Mathematics
- Complete Fermi–Dirac integral
- Incomplete Fermi–Dirac integral
