In particle physics, a fermion is a particle that follows Fermi–Dirac statistics. Fermions have a half-odd-integer spin (spin ⁠1/2⁠, spin ⁠3/2⁠, etc.)...

the system. Fermi–Dirac statistics is most commonly applied to electrons, a type of fermion with spin 1/2. A counterpart to Fermi–Dirac statistics is Bose–Einstein...

Among other discoveries, he formulated the Dirac equation in 1928, which describes the behaviour of fermions and predicted the existence of antimatter...

In particle physics, the Dirac equation is a relativistic wave equation derived by British physicist Paul Dirac in 1928. In its free form, or including...

a Dirac fermion, which describes fermions that are not their own antiparticles. With the exception of neutrinos, all of the Standard Model fermions are...

In mathematics and quantum mechanics, a Dirac operator is a differential operator that is a formal square root, or half-iterate, of a second-order operator...

A fermionic condensate (or Fermi–Dirac condensate) is a superfluid phase formed by fermionic particles at low temperatures. It is closely related to the...

being fermions, which have odd half-integer spin (1⁄2, 3⁄2, 5⁄2, ...). Every observed subatomic particle is either a boson or a fermion. Paul Dirac coined...

discretized Dirac fermions in d {\displaystyle d} Euclidean dimensions, each fermionic field results in 2 d {\displaystyle 2^{d}} identical fermion species...

behave as Weyl fermions, leading to the notion of Weyl semimetals. Mathematically, any Dirac fermion can be decomposed as two Weyl fermions of opposite chirality...
