How a system behaves is determined by its interaction properties <http://phys.org/tags/properties/>. An important concept in condensed matter physics <http://phys.org/tags/condensed+matter+physics/> for describing the energy distribution of electrons in solids is the Fermi surface <http://phys.org/tags/surface/>, named for Italian physicist Enrico Fermi. The existence of the Fermi surface is a direct consequence of the Pauli exclusion principle, which forbids two identical fermions from occupying the same quantum state simultaneously. Energetically, the Fermi surface divides filled energy levels from the empty ones. For electrons and other fermionic particles with isotropic interactions – identical properties in all directions - the Fermi surface is spherical.
"This is the normal case in nature and the basis for many physical phenomena," says Francesca Ferlaino from the Institute for Experimental Physics at the University of Innsbruck.* "When the particle interaction is anisotropic – meaning directionally dependent – the physical behavior of a system is completely altered. Introducing anisotropic interactions can deform the Fermi surface and it is predicted to assume an ellipsoidal shape."* Read more at: http://phys.org/news/2014-09-physicists-insights-world-quantum-materials.html#jCp On Thu, Sep 18, 2014 at 1:34 PM, Axil Axil <[email protected]> wrote: > > Multiple reaction pathways are taking place in one system (a cocktail of >> sorts).
