Main Points Raised

  • One participant expresses difficulty in understanding what a "Fermi electron" is and requests assistance.
  • Several participants inquire whether the original poster meant "Fermi level," "Fermi liquid," or "Fermi gas," suggesting these terms are more commonly recognized in physics.
  • A participant emphasizes that "Fermi electron" is not a standard term in physics and requests clarification on the source and context of the term.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants generally agree that "Fermi electron" is not a widely accepted term in physics, but there is no consensus on its meaning or relevance, as the original poster has not provided further context.

Contextual Notes

Do you by any chance men "Fermi level"?
 
Or Fermi Liquid or Gas ?
 
Nop!

I mean "Fermi electron",not Fermi gas or liquid!

As you should have guessed from the questions you received, "fermi electron" is NOT a common (or maybe even correct?) phrase that is found in physics. Therefore, if you truly want to know what it is, it is imperative that you ELABORATE on where you read this, the CONTEXT that you found this from, and better yet, the exact reference where this came from.
