Degenerate matter exhibits quantum mechanical properties when a fermion system temperature approaches

Unlike a classical ideal gas, whose pressure is proportional to its temperature where P is pressure, kB is the Boltzmann constant, N is the number of particles (typically atoms or molecules), T is temperature, and V is the volume, th… See more

Degenerate gases are gases composed of fermions such as electrons, protons, and neutrons rather than molecules of ordinary matter. The electron gas in ordinary metals and in the interior of white dwarfs are two examples. … See more
