    Fermi Hi
AI Thread Summary
Fermi zones appear to be a misnomer, as the discussion clarifies that the correct terms are Fermi levels and Brillouin zones, which refer to different concepts in solid state physics. The original poster seeks articles on Fermi zones but receives feedback that such a term is not widely recognized in the literature. Participants suggest that Fermi levels relate to the energy states of electrons, while Brillouin zones pertain to reciprocal lattice spaces. Recommended readings include "Introduction to Solid State Physics" by C. Kittel and other solid state physics texts. The conversation emphasizes the importance of distinguishing between these terms for a clearer understanding of the subject.

Hi do u know anything about fermi zones? I need some good articles to read about...
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Brillouin zone is the same as "fermi zones"? Really? Why would Fermi's name be associated with this anyway? It has nothing to do with fermions, whereas Brillouin zones are the reciprocal lattice spaces.

I have never heard of "fermi zones". The OP didn't cite where such a thing came from.

Zz.
 
Oh no, that was Fermi Levels, not Fermi Zones. I think maybe you have them mixed up. Its a Fermi Level, and a Brillouin zone
 
So what's correct of ypur posts and what should i read?
 
Hello, I look at two books in solid state physics one is Kittel and other Mayer, as well as the internet. Unfortunately, I didn't find any separate word such as (Fermi Zone). I think this is only a level and zone is defined by Brillouin and Fermi is the level which will be define by its spin. However, it will be a good idea if you look at Introduction to Solid State Physics C.KITTEL.
