    Pauli Exclusion Principle-question

    Pauli Exclusion Principle--question According to the Pauli Exclusion Principle, two identical FERMIONS cannot coexist in the same energy level within a nucleus. My question is, could two identical fermions coexist if they had opposite isospin, that is, does isospin make the two otherwise...

    Understanding the Pauli Exclusion Principle and Its Consequences in an Atom

    hey all, posted this before but no one managed to get it? question off a past paper that it can't do.../ state pauli exclusion principle (can do that) and explain its consequence in an atom (can do that). Use it to determine the values of n, l ml and ms of 10 neon atoms placed in a box at...

    Does the Pauli Exclusion Principle Imply Orthogonality of Quantum States?

    Usual way of expressing pauli exclusion principle is, that the two identical fermions must be on different states. This seems a confusing statement, since the meaning of the term "different states" isn't very clear. Suppose I have two electrons, otherwise in the same states, but other one being...

    Basic question about Pauli Rotations

    So it's apparently possible to prove that e^{-iAx} = cos(x)I + isin(x)A given that A^2=I. What I don't understand is how this is supposed to be derived. Any help would be appreciated as this is driving me nuts and this is probably something that is very easy to prove...

    Does the Pauli Exclusion Principle Apply to Electrons in Metals?

    Hello, I was wondering if the Pauli Exclusion principle still applies to electrons in a metal. My intitution tells me no since a magnetic field acting on a metal causes the electron spin to realign but I am not sure. Thanks, -scott

    Does the Pauli Exclusion Principle Span Distance?

    sometimes i think, would the pauli exclusion principle still apply if the fermions span a very large spatial distance? for example if i have a very very loooong chain of condensed electrons, wouldn't it be possible that the electrons at both ends occasionaly occupy the same quantum state?

    Pauli Matrices: Troubleshooting a Non-Zero Commutator

    Ok, I have a stupid question on pauli matrices here but it is bugging me. In a book I'm reading it gives the equation [\sigma_i , \sigma_j] = 2 I \epsilon_{i,j,k} \sigma_k , I understand how it works and everything but I do have a question, when you have k=i/j and i!=j (like 2,1,2) you get a...

    Pauli exclusion principle, fermions, bosons

    Hi, I am having trouble understanding these concepts. I checked out some websites but it still doesn't help. First of all what's the main postulate?

    How Does the Pauli Exclusion Principle Influence Electron Pairing in Orbitals?

    I was wondering why electrons exsist in pairs in orbitals? Is it that since they both have opposite spins according to the Pauli Exclusion Priciple that they cancel each other out and create a more stable system? Thanks, -Scott

    Super fluids and pauli exclusion principle

    I don't understand how can atoms like heilium-4 which has same amounts of fermions behave like bosons and do not obey pauli's exclusion principle. Do the heilium physically stack up together like laser light, or does it just seem to do that? could someone please explain how superfluids work.

    A neutron star collapses - where's pauli?

    neutrons are fermions, with half spin, as such the must not occupy the same quantum state (meaning the wave functions can't overlap - atleast not with a big probability density portion of each other). so, if neutron star is in the most dense state it can get, meaning its degenerate and every...

    Pauli Exclusion Principle, what does it say?

    I know I already posted this question, but it seems to have gotten "lost" among the other questions in the same thread. This is really confusing me now, so I'll ask it again. The pauli exclusion principle says that no two fermions can be in the same quantum state. But if we have three...

    Pauli exclusion principle - does it apply to everything

    The Pauli exclusion principle states that no two fermions can have the same quantum state. My question is, if you could conceivable solve the wave equation for every electron in a large body, perhaps even the entire universe, does this mean that no electrons in that body can have exactly the...

    How Did the Pauli Exclusion Principle Originate: Assumption or Observation?

    I had a question about the pauli principle. Well, I know that it classify the particles into two groups named bosons and fermions and says that they have symmetrical or antisymetrical wave functions. My question is this: How did he say these? I mean, was it assumption that came true or just a...

    Finding Pauli matrices WITHOUT ladder operators

    Does anyone know of an alternative way of calculating the Pauli spin matrices \mbox{ \sigma_x} and \mbox{ \sigma_y} (already knowing \mbox { \sigma_z} and the (anti)-commutation relations), without using ladder operators \mbox{ \sigma_+} and \mbox{ \sigma_- }? Thanks!

    Exploring the Possible Mechanisms Behind the Pauli Exclusion Principle
