WHAT DOES FERMI LEVEL MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Fermi level

Fermi level

The Fermi level is the total chemical potential for electrons and is usually denoted by µ or EF. The Fermi level of a body is a thermodynamic quantity, and its significance is the thermodynamic work required to add one electron to the body. A precise understanding of the Fermi level—how it relates to electronic band structure in determining electronic properties, how it relates to the voltage and flow of charge in an electronic circuit—is essential to an understanding of solid-state physics. In a band structure picture, the Fermi level can be considered to be a hypothetical energy level of an electron, such that at thermodynamic equilibrium this energy level would have a 50% probability of being occupied at any given time. The Fermi level does not necessarily correspond to an actual energy level, nor does it even require the existence of a band structure. Nonetheless, the Fermi level is a precisely defined thermodynamic quantity, and differences in Fermi level can be measured simply with a voltmeter.
