Why does 4He act like a boson but 3He doesn't? What accounts for their different behavior at low temperatures? Why does 4He act as a Bose Condensate, but 3He doesn't?
I read somewhere that because 4He has an even number of fermions (2 protons, 2 neutrons, 2 electrons), it behaves as a boson. What is the physical origins of this statement?
Can someone please help?
Thanks!
