Hi
Can somebody explain the meaning of the following sentence which is from Wikipedia: "Solids with a large density of states at the Fermi level become unstable at low temperatures and tend to form ground states where the condensation energy comes from opening a gap at the Fermi surface e.g. superconductors, Jahn-Teller distortion"? I know what a Fermi surface is, but the sentence above is not clear.
Thanks,
Mavi
