What Does DEGM Stand For?

DEGM stands for Degenerate Electron Gas Model

DEGM, or Degenerate Electron Gas Model, is a theoretical framework used in condensed matter physics to describe the behavior of a system of electrons at high densities, where the effects of quantum mechanics become significant. In this model, electrons are treated as a Fermi gas that occupies the lowest available energy states up to the Fermi energy, resulting in distinct properties such as conductivity and heat capacity. The DEGM is particularly relevant for understanding the behavior of electrons in metals and semiconductor materials at low temperatures.
