- Starting with F-C distrubution for ##T>0##
$$f(\epsilon_\vec{k})=(e^{\frac{(\epsilon_\vec{k} - \mu)}{kT}}+1)^{-1}$$
derive a distrubution at limit of ##T->0## when ##\mu(T)-> \epsilon_F##
- Relevant Equations
- ##f(\epsilon_\vec{k})=(e^{\frac{(\epsilon_\vec{k} - \mu)}{kT}}+1)^(-1)##
##\mu(T=0)=\epsilon_F##
The limit itself is pretty easy to calculate
##lim_{T->0} \ lim_{\mu->\epsilon_F} \ (e^{\frac{(\epsilon_F - \mu)}{kT}}+1)^{-1} = \frac{1}{2}##
But I'm very confused about changing ##\epsilon_\vec{k}## to ##\epsilon_F##. Why do we do this?
