Fermionischen

Fermionischen is the German adjectival form related to fermionic, used to describe properties, particles, or systems that obey fermionic statistics. In physics, fermions are particles with half-integer spin that obey the Pauli exclusion principle and Fermi-Dirac statistics. The defining feature of fermionischen behavior is the antisymmetry of the wavefunction under exchange of two identical fermions, which forbids them from occupying the same quantum state. This antisymmetry is reflected in the mathematical formalism of quantum mechanics and quantum field theory through anti-commutation relations for creation and annihilation operators.

The consequences of fermionischen behavior are broad. They determine the electronic structure of atoms, influence the properties of metals and semiconductors, and give rise to degeneracy pressures that stabilize white dwarfs and neutron stars. At finite temperature, Fermi-Dirac statistics describe how fermions populate energy states, affecting conductivity, heat capacity, and transport phenomena in materials.

Mathematically, fermionic systems are often treated in second quantization and Fock space, where states are built by applying anti-commuting creation operators to a vacuum state. Occupation numbers for fermionic modes are restricted to 0 or 1, reflecting the Pauli exclusion principle. Fermions include electrons, protons, neutrons, quarks, and many neutrinos, as well as their antiparticles.

In German-language contexts, fermionischen Eigenschaften or “fermionic properties” describe systems with these half-integer-spin, antisymmetric characteristics, in contrast to bosonischen Eigenschaften of bosons, which obey Bose-Einstein statistics and can share quantum states.
