Select a concept
Select any concept, construction junction, or annotated relation by pointer, touch, search, or keyboard.
Construction junctions are diamonds. They show where multiple structures must coexist on the same carrier and satisfy compatibility conditions.
Move selected concept
Single-pointer and keyboard alternatives to dragging. Each activation moves the selected concept one step.
At zero temperature, the locus in momentum or crystal-momentum space where a fermionic quasiparticle excitation meets the chemical potential. It bounds filled one-particle states in the free case; in an interacting Fermi liquid its shape and enclosed volume remain meaningful with qualifications.
This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.

Authored explanation
At zero temperature, a conventional band metal has one or more Fermi surfaces separating occupied from unoccupied quasiparticle states in crystal-momentum space.
How to interpret this relation type
The target represents a state, property, observable, or state-dependent description associated with the source system or theory.
