Summary

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.

Permalink to relation

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.
