	Enrico Fermi - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Enrico Fermi was born in Rome, Italy in 1901.
		Fermi became unhappy, though, with what he saw as an excessively formal theoretical style under the influence of Max Born, and so after six months left for the University of Leiden, Netherlands, to work with Paul Ehrenfest.
		Fermi took a professorship in Rome (the first for theoretical physics in Italy, created for him by professor Orso Maria Corbino, director of the Institute of Physics).

	MSN Encarta - Enrico Fermi
		Fermi studied with German physicist Max Born in Göttingen, Germany, from 1922 to 1924.
		Fermi became a professor at Columbia University in New York in 1939, and in 1941 moved to Chicago, Illinois, for a professorship at the University of Chicago.
		The method that Fermi developed became known as Fermi statistics, and the particles that obey the Pauli exclusion principle became known as fermions.

	Fermi-Dirac statistics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Statistical thermodynamics is used to describe the behaviour of large numbers of particles.
		M-B statistics are particularly useful for studying gases, and B-E statistics are particularly useful when dealing with photons and other bosons.
		F-D statistics was introduced in 1926 by Enrico Fermi and Paul Dirac and applied in 1927 by Arnold Sommerfeld to electrons in metals.

		Enrico Fermi, (born September 29, 1901 in Rome, Italy; died 1954) was an Italian-American physicist most noted for his work on beta decay, the development of the first nuclear reactor and for the development of quantum theory.
		In 1923 Fermi spent 6 months in Göttingen at Max Born's school, but was not happy with the excessively formal theoretical style of the leading school of quantum physics at the time.
		Fermi remained in Rome until 1938, when he was awarded the Nobel Prize; Fascism had released its racial laws, so Fermi (whose wife Laura Capon was of Jewish religion) after the prize immediately emigrated to New York and began working at Columbia University.

	Fermi statistics. Who is Fermi statistics? What is Fermi statistics? Where is Fermi statistics? Definition of Fermi ...
		In statistical thermodynamics, Fermi-Dirac statistics determines the statistical distribution of fermions over the energy states for a system in thermal equilibrium.
		While F-D statistics holds for fermions, B-E statistics plays the same role for bosons – the other type of particle found in nature.
		It is a fundamental postulate of statistical physics that at thermal equilibrium, each of these microstates will be equally likely, subject to the constraints of known total energy and number of particles.

		We first demonstrate that the granular statistics in the presence of gravity cross over from Boltzmann to Fermi statistics as the strength of the excitation decreases.
		We also discuss some of the puzzles in the thermodynamic theory, which are associated with (i) the anisotropy of the system due to gravity and (ii) the excluded volume effect due to finite diameter.
		Next, based on Enskog theory of hard spheres, we show that the crossover from the Fermi statistics to Boltzmann statistics arises via the condensation of hard spheres into the ground state, the mechanism of which appears to be mathematically similar to the condensation of Bosons into the ground state.
