Usage: physics; technical

Examples

• Electrons are fermionic particles that obey the Pauli exclusion principle.
• The fermionic nature of quarks explains why they cannot occupy the same quantum state.
• In quantum field theory, fermionic fields describe the behavior of matter particles.
• Fermionic systems exhibit different statistical properties than bosonic ones.
• The fermionic condensate was observed in the laboratory experiment.
