% this is the default PlanetPhysics preamble. as your knowledge % of TeX increases, you will probably want to edit this, but % it should be fine as is for beginners.

% almost certainly you want these \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{amsfonts}

% used for TeXing text within eps files %\usepackage{psfrag} % need this for including graphics (\includegraphics) %\usepackage{graphicx} % for neatly defining theorems and propositions %\usepackage{amsthm} % making logically defined graphics %\usepackage{xypic}

% there are many more packages, add them here as you need them

The Fermi-Dirac distribution gives the probability of a \htmladdnormallink{fermion}{http://planetphysics.us/encyclopedia/Fermion.html} occupying a \htmladdnormallink{Microstate}{http://planetphysics.us/encyclopedia/StatisticalEntropy.html} with \htmladdnormallink{energy}{http://planetphysics.us/encyclopedia/CosmologicalConstant.html} $\epsilon$ and \htmladdnormallink{chemical potential}{http://planetphysics.us/encyclopedia/LebesgueMeasure.html} $\mu$ at a \htmladdnormallink{temperature}{http://planetphysics.us/encyclopedia/BoltzmannConstant.html} T. It is:

\[ f(\epsilon) = \frac{1}{1+exp(\frac{\epsilon - \mu}{kT})} \]
