Verbatim question for GR8677 #88
Statistical Mechanics}Pressure


Recall the following results for low temperatures,

where one realizes that the Fermi temperature, T_F tends to be on the order of thousands for most material, and that the low temperature regime temperatures are definitely far less than the Fermi temperature; one thus has P_F>P_B,P_C. Moreover, classical effects occur at around T=300K, while the problem specifies the temperature domain for bosons to be far lower than that, thus one deduces that P_B < P_C. Therefore, P_F>P_C>P_B.

Therefore, at cold enough temperatures, bosons would all be in the lowest energy state and it makes sense that they would have the lowest pressure, while fermions would be all over the place and have a higher pressure. If quantum effects were ignored, it makes sense that that pressure would be in between since fermions and bosons seem to be at two extremes.
