Thomas-Fermi Physics.|tɒməsˈfɜːmɪ|
The names of L. H. Thomas (b. 1903), English physicist, and E. Fermi, used attrib. with reference to a model of the electronic charge distribution in an atom in which the electrons are treated as a gas of independent particles obeying Fermi-Dirac statistics and the exclusion principle is taken into account, proposed by them in 1927 and 1928 respectively.
