Exploring Quantum Physics - Week 3 Question 6

Question:

Which of the following is responsible for the existence of a Fermi surface in metals?

Answer:

First, electron, like any particle, like low energy state, and Pauli exclusion principle dictates that each energy level (i.e. state) can have only one electron. So we should expect to find electrons to clutter at the lowest possible level.

There the answer is Pauli exclusion principle.
