Exchange Interaction
Linked via "indistinguishability of particles"
The exchange interaction is a purely quantum mechanical effect arising from the requirement that the total wavefunction of a system of identical fermions (such as electrons) must be antisymmetric under the exchange of any two particles. While often discussed in the context of magnetism, particularly ferromagnetism and antiferromagnetism, its foundational principles relate to …
