The term Fermi point has two applications but refers to the same phenomena (special relativity):[1]
- Fermi point (quantum field theory)
- Fermi point (nanotechnology)
For both applications count that the symmetry between particles and anti-particles in weak interactions is violated:
At this point the particle energy E = cp is zero.[2]
In nanotechnology this concept can be applied to electron behavior.[3] An electron as a single particle is a fermion obeying the Pauli exclusion principle.
