Fermi-Dirac Statistics
During his postgraduate study at the University of Gottingen, Fermi developed the distinct statistical model, based on the behavior of a perfect gas, predicting the actions of large clouds of electrons and showing that they have different activity from other sub-atomic particles—a fundamental characteristic of matter. Such elementary particles, the basic elements of matter, are named fermions after Fermi.
