Related Quantities
A related quantity is Fermi temperature, defined as, where is the Boltzmann constant and the Fermi energy. Other quantities defined in this context are Fermi momentum, and Fermi velocity, the momentum and velocity, respectively, of a fermion at the Fermi surface. (These quantities are not well-defined in cases where the Fermi surface is non-spherical). In the case of the Fermi sphere, they are given by:
where is the mass of the electron.
The Fermi momentum can also be described as, where is the radius of the Fermi sphere and is called the Fermi wave vector.

Famous quotes containing the words related and/or quantities:
“No being exists or can exist which is not related to space in some way. God is everywhere, created minds are somewhere, and body is in the space that it occupies; and whatever is neither everywhere nor anywhere does not exist. And hence it follows that space is an effect arising from the first existence of being, because when any being is postulated, space is postulated.”
—Isaac Newton (1642–1727)
“Compilers resemble gluttonous eaters who devour excessive quantities of healthy food just to excrete them as refuse.”
—Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)
