    Polarization of a Ideal Fermi Gas

    Does this take into account that T=0? Sorry... I'm having a little trouble wrapping my head around this

    Polarization of a Ideal Fermi Gas

    Does ε=uB? Becuase if that is so, I can set uB=( hbar ∏^2 / (2mL^2)) (N/2)^2 then solve for N and that would give me the number density I am looking for?

    Polarization of a Ideal Fermi Gas

    Yes, I understand it now. The more particles that are present in a given system, the higher the Fermi energy will be and vice versa. Now that we have the number density equation, how does the chemical potential and temperature come into play?

    Polarization of a Ideal Fermi Gas

    The number of fermions in the system must be large enough so that adding one more fermion to the system has negligible effect on μ. Since the F–D distribution was derived using the Pauli exclusion principle, which allows at most one electron to occupy each possible state, a result is that 0<ni<1...

    Polarization of a Ideal Fermi Gas

    Homework Statement At T=0, what is the largest density that a gas can be completely spin polarized by a magnetic induction of 10 telsas Homework Equations μn= 10^-26 J/T mass= 5*10^-27 kg spin= 1/2 The Attempt at a Solution I am really not sure where to begin. The spin...
