Fermi Level and Fermi energy

  • The energy of the highest occupied level at absolute zero temperature is called Fermi-energy.

  • The corresponding level is called Fermi level.

  • The energy levels are absolute zero above Fermi level are completely empty, while those below are completely filled

Let,

$n_e$ be the number of …
