   Chemical Potential at Absolute Zero
   At $T=0 \text{ K}$, the distribution function exhibits a sharp discontinuity-If the energy-of a state/) $\epsiloni$ is less than the chemical potential ($\mu$), the occupation number $\langle ni \rangle$ is unity; if $\epsiloni$ is greater than $\mu$, $\langle ni \rangle$ is zero [1]. Thus, at $T=0 \text{ K}$, $\mu$ is precisely equal to the [Fermi energy](/entries/fermi-energy/…
