  2. Fermi's interaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fermi's_interaction

    Fermi first introduced this coupling in his description of beta decay in 1933. [3] The Fermi interaction was the precursor to the theory for the weak interaction where the interaction between the proton–neutron and electron–antineutrino is mediated by a virtual W − boson, of which the Fermi theory is the low-energy effective field theory.

  3. Fermi contact interaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fermi_contact_interaction

    The interaction was first derived by Enrico Fermi in 1930. [7] A classical derivation of this term is contained in "Classical Electrodynamics" by J. D. Jackson. [8] In short, the classical energy may be written in terms of the energy of one magnetic dipole moment in the magnetic field B(r) of another dipole.

  4. Fermi liquid theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fermi_liquid_theory

    e. Fermi liquid theory (also known as Landau's Fermi-liquid theory) is a theoretical model of interacting fermions that describes the normal state of the conduction electrons in most metals at sufficiently low temperatures. [1] The theory describes the behavior of many-body systems of particles in which the interactions between particles may be ...

  5. Beta decay transition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beta_decay_transition

    Fermi's interaction showing the 4-point fermion vector current, coupled under the Fermi coupling constant, G F. Fermi's theory was the first theoretical effort in describing nuclear decay rates for beta decay. The Gamow–Teller theory was a necessary extension of Fermi's theory.

  6. Four-fermion interactions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four-fermion_interactions

    Fermi's theory of the weak interaction. The interaction term has a V − A (vector minus axial) form. The Gross–Neveu model. This is a four-fermi theory of Dirac fermions without chiral symmetry and as such, it may or may not be massive. The Thirring model. This is a four-fermi theory of fermions with a vector coupling. The Nambu–Jona ...

  7. Weak interaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weak_interaction

    e. In nuclear physics and particle physics, the weak interaction, also called the weak force, is one of the four known fundamental interactions, with the others being electromagnetism, the strong interaction, and gravitation. It is the mechanism of interaction between subatomic particles that is responsible for the radioactive decay of atoms ...

  8. Feynman diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feynman_diagram

    When there are four-Fermi interactions (like in the Fermi effective theory of the weak nuclear interactions) there are more k-integrals than Fermi loops. In this case, the counting rule should apply the Euler algorithm by pairing up the Fermi lines at each vertex into pairs that together form a bosonic factor of the term in the Lagrangian, and ...

  9. Electronic correlation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_correlation

    The Fermi liquid model of correlated electrons in metals is able to explain the temperature dependence of resistivity by electron-electron interactions. It also forms the basis for the BCS theory of superconductivity , which is the result of phonon-mediated electron-electron interactions.
