  Pauli exclusion principle
The Pauli exclusion principle is a quantum mechanical principle which states that no two identical fermions may occupy the same quantum state.
The Pauli principle only applies to fermions, particles which form antisymmetric quantum states and have half-integer spin.
This does not violate the Pauli principle because spin is part of the quantum state of the electron, so the two electrons are occupying different quantum states.

 Pauli exclusion principle Summary
It is one of the most important principles in physics, primarily because the three types of particles from which ordinary matter is made—electrons, protons, and neutrons—are all subject to it.
The Pauli exclusion principle underlies many of the characteristic properties of matter, from the large-scale stability of matter to the existence of the periodic table of the elements.
It was invented by Pauli in 1924 to explain experimental results in the Zeeman effect in atomic spectroscopy, ferromagnetism, and how the periodic table is regulated by the electron structure of atoms, well before the 1925 formulation of the modern theory of quantum mechanics by Werner Heisenberg and Erwin Schrödinger.

 PCNL Library - Wolfgang Pauli: Resurrection of Spirit in the World
Pauli was deeply attached to his mother who committed suicide in 1927 on discovering her husband was having an affair.
Pauli had realized that the key element in our modern world is the lack of soul in the scientific conception of the world, yet he is now being told to be loyal to one woman - his own soul.
Possibly it was at this level that Pauli confused his failure to unify symmetry (Christ and the Devil) in physics with the openness of his quest for the wholeness of matter and spirit and with the inner nature of his own inner quest.

 Wolfgang Pauli Summary
Wolfgang Pauli the son of Wolfgang Joseph Pauli, a professor in the University of Vienna, was born in that city on April 25, 1900.
Pauli was an assistant to Max Born at Göttingen (1921-1922) and to Niels Bohr at Copenhagen (1922-1923).
Wolfgang Pauli 's exclusion, or "Pauli," principle asserted the later-proven existence of the neutrino, a chargeless, massless particle.

Pauli was born in Vienna, Austria on August 25, 1900.
Pauli moved to the United States in 1940, where he was Professor of Theoretical Physics at Princeton.
In 1945, Pauli received the Nobel Prize in Physics for his "decisive contribution through his discovery in 1925 of a new law of Nature, the exclusion principle or Pauli principle." He had been nominated for the prize by Einstein.

The Pauli exclusion principle, commonly referred to simply as the exclusion principle, is a quantum mechanical principle formulated by Wolfgang Pauli in 1925, which states that no two identical fermions may occupy the same quantum state.
It is one of the most important principles in physics, primarily because the three types of particle from which ordinary matter is made - electrons, protons, and neutrons - are all subject to it.
Another physical phenomenon for which the Pauli principle is responsible is ferromagnetism, in which the exclusion effect implies an exchange energy that induces neighboring electron spins to align (whereas classically they would anti-align).

 Pauli Principle Influence in Nuclear Shell Model
The Pauli exclusion principle is involved in the basic explanation of the shell model for nuclear energy states.
The Pauli principle effectively blocks the loss of energy because only one nuclear particle can occupy a given energy state (with spin 1/2, neutrons and protons are fermions.) In this dense collection of matter, all the low energy states will fill up.
The Pauli principle is also invoked in the liquid drop model, and there is a term in the Weizsaecker formula for binding energy which is attributed to the exclusion principle.

This is an example of a general principle which applies not only to electrons but also to other particles of half-integer spin (fermions).
The nature of the Pauli exclusion principle can be illustrated by supposing that electrons 1 and 2 are in states a and b respectively.
The Pauli exclusion principle is part of one of our most basic observations of nature: particles of half-integer spin must have antisymmetric wavefunctions, and particles of integer spin must have symmetric wavefunctions.

 Wolfgang Ernst Pauli
Pauli had a caustic wit; he was not a good lecturer and he was notoriously bad as an experimentalist; but he is one of the giants of 20th-century theoretical physics.
This principle explained why not all the electrons in an atom occupy the orbit nearest to the nucleus, where the least amount of energy is required to complete an orbit.
Pauli was awarded the Nobel Prize in 1945 for his “…decisive contribution through his discovery in 1925 of a new law of Nature, the exclusion principle or Pauli principle.” Pauli was first nominated for Nobel Prize in 1933 and continued to receive nomination for eight years but not the Prize.

 Nobel Prize in Physics 1945 - Presentation Speech
Pauli based his investigation on a profound analysis of the experimental and theoretical knowledge in atomic physics at the time.
Pauli showed himself that the electronic configuration is made fully intelligible by the exclusion principle, which is therefore essential for the elucidation of the characteristic physical and chemical properties of different elements.
The Pauli principle is therefore essential for the description of the properties of atomic nuclei.

 [No title]
Pauli after looking at spectral data and while a professor at the University of Hamburg in 1924, Pauli proposed that no two electrons in an atom can have the same set of quantum numbers and thus gave birth to the exclusion principle (Pauling 1988).
Pauli postulated that the correct wave function for a helium atom is one in which if you were to switch the positions of electron one with that of electron two the new wave function for electrons would be the negative of the original wave function (Ball 2003).
The Pauli exclusion principle from this point grew in significance helping to prove the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle as well as leading to the discovery of the neutrino and an understanding of continuous spectrum seen in beta-decay(--- 2005).

 Pauli's principle   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
Pauli's principle, also known as Pauli's exclusion principle, was proposed by Wolfgang Pauli in 1925.
On the basis of the multiplet structure of the atomic spectra and the anomalous Zeeman effect, which was not able to be interpreted for a long time, Pauli realized that the peculiar, classically non-describable type of ambiguity of the quantum theoretical properties of the luminous electron demands for its description a fourth quantum number.
In 1945 Wolfgang Pauli was awarded the Nobelpreis for his discovery of the exclusion principle.

 Pauli Exclusion Principle
One expression of the Pauli Exclusion Principle is that “no two electrons in the same atom can be in the same quantum state.” [1] This means that no two electrons can have the same set of quantum states of: 1) energy, 2) angular momentum magnitude, 3) angular momentum orientation, and 4) orientation of intrinsic spin.
Pauli's Principle is based on the fact that any two given electrons are indistinguishable from one another and thus changing the designations between two or more electrons in different quantum states should have no observable effect.
The Pauli Exclusion Principle is as fundamental a characteristic of Quantum Physics as there is. Albert Einstein and his colleagues Poldalsky and Rosen attempted in their theoretical EPR Paradox to argue against the very viability of Quantum Physics.

Pauli observed that relativistic quantum field theory requires that particles with half-integer spin (s=1/2, 3/2,...) must have antisymmetric wave functions and particles with integer spin (s=0, 1,...) must have symmetric wave functions.
For this reason the principle is known as the Pauli Exclusion Principle.
Another consequence of the Pauli Principle is that since the ground state wave function of the He atom must also be anti-symmetric, and since the spatial part of the zeroth order wave function is symmetric,

 Wolfgang Ernst Pauli: master of electrons...not caesar salad   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
Wolfgang Ernst Pauli was born on April 25, 1900 in Vienna and died on Dec. 15, 1958 in Zurich.
Pauli is famous for his recognition of the existence of the neutrino, an uncharged and massless particle which carries off energy in radioactive ß-disintegration.
The respect his witty colleagues had for Pauli is summed up in a quote by the Cambridge Dictionary of Scientists, “Pauli had a caustic wit; he was not a good lecturer and he was notoriously bad as an experimentalist; but he is one of the giants of 20th-century theoretical physics”.

 Pauli exclusion principle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Pauli exclusion principle is one of the most important principles in physics, primarily because the three types of particles from which ordinary matter is made—electrons, protons, and neutrons—are all subject to it; consequently all material particles exhibit space-occupying nature.
Building on these and other views, the Pauli exclusion principle was originally formulated as an empirical principle.
Since electrons are fermions, the Pauli exclusion principle forbids them from occupying the same quantum state, so electrons have to "pile on top of each other" within an atom).

From the Demokritos atom to Rutherford, the Bohr atom and Pauli's Exlusion Principle
The idea of atoms has been around since the fifth century BC when a jolly philosopher named Demokritos opposed the popular idea of the four elements (fire, earth, water, air) and argued that everything is made up from elements that can not be divided any further.
Pauli discovered that electrons have a total of four characteristics, some of which can have two values (1 or 0; yea or nay, etc), leaving the electron eight separate states to exist in.

 Pauli exclusion principle   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
The Pauli exclusion principle is an assertion that no two electrons in an atom can be at the same time in the same state or configuration, proposed (1925) by the Austrian physicist Wolfgang Pauli to account for the observed patterns of light emission from atoms.
Particles obeying the exclusion principle have a characteristic value of spin, or intrinsic angular momentum; their spin is always some odd whole-number multiple of one-half.
The Pauli exclusion principle indicates that, if one of these states is occupied by an electron of spin one-half, the other may be occupied only by an electron of opposite spin, or spin negative one-half.
