Fermi Dirac Statistic
Statistic
There are two type of statistic:
1.Classical Statistic
2.Quantum Statistic
1. Classical statistic:
For classical particle (observable)
Distinguishable
2. Quantum Statistic:
Non-observable particle
Indistinguishable
Quantum Statistic:
Two types of Quantum statistic:
1.Bose-Einstein statistic
2.Fermi-diracStatistic
Bose Einstein statistic:
integral spin
Don’t obey Pauli exclusion principle
e.g. Photon
Scientist behind the development OF FDS:
Fermi–Dirac statistics was first published in 1926 byEnrico FermiandPaul
Dirac.
Fermi–Dirac statistics was applied in 1926 byRalph Fowlerto describe the
collapse of astar.

Fermi Dirac Statistic:
This statistic is obeyed by identical indistinguishable particle.
Those particle which obey Fermi-Dirac statistic called fermions.
These particle having half integral spin e.g. 1/2 , 3/2, 5/2.
Fermions have anti-symmetric wave function.
Ψ(1,2)= -ψ(1,2)
Obey Pauli Exclusion Principle.
No two electron in an atom can have identical quantum number.
Fermi-Dirac distribution function:
The Fermi Dirac distribution function, denoted as f(E), it give probability of
finding a particle( electron) with energy E in a particular energy state at a
given temperature T .
E is energy at which we find f(E) probability of existence of electron.
Efis Fermi level energy, T temperature, k Boltzmann constant.
So, f(E) is ranging in between 0 to 1.
Case:
1. At 0k Temperature
No free electron, all the electron in valance band.
At T= 0k
if E>Ef
E`>Ef
f(E) = 1/∞= 0
The probability of finding electron is
zero.
Increase temperature
covalent bond break and electron-hole pair generate
At different energy state probability of electron that
estimation done by FDS.
At T= 0k
if E< Ef
E``< Ef
f(E) = 1/1+0= 1
The probability of finding electron is 1.
At T= 0k
if E> Ef, f(E)= 0
if E< Ef, f(E)= 1
If we increase the temperature
Then the probability of finding the
electron above Efis increase.
And probability of finding an electron
decrease below Ef.
At Ef, the probability of finding electron is
half.
