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.
