Question

The floor function around a coefficient of one-half distinguishes an expression describing a 1D system named for this scientist from the energy of a particle-in-a-box. This scientist names a gas that exhibits degeneracy (20[6])pressure (20[4])at absolute zero (20[3])and is used to derive the (20[1])Chandrasekhar (20[2])limit. (20[1]0[2])This scientist names a quantity, often conflated with the chemical potential, (20[1])that lies within the (*) band gap for insulators. (10[2])This scientist (10[1])names the highest occupied energy level in metals. (10[1])Particles (10[1])named for this scientist (10[1])do not (10[1])condense (10[1])at low temperatures (0[1])because they obey statistics named (0[1])for (10[1])him and (0[1])Dirac. (10[4])For 10 points, (0[1])identify this physicist (10[1])who, in contrast to Bose, (0[1])names particles with (0[1])half-integer (0[1])spin. (10[3])■END■ (10[4]0[1])
