The most important degenerate Fermi gas is the electron gas in metals. There is Leon N. Cooper’s paper “Bound electron pairs in a degenerate Fermi gas”:

all the know superconductors are degenerate. The condition is some attractive interaction between electrons. In BCS, the attraction is created by phonons.
