# List of things named after Enrico Fermi

Enrico Fermi (1901–1954), an Italian-born, naturalized American physicist, is the eponym of the topics listed below.

## Physics

* Fermi (unit), unit of length in particle physics equivalent to the femtometre

* Fermi energy
* Fermi's four factor formula
* Fermi gas
* Fermi's interaction, an explanation of the beta decay
* Fermi level
* Fermi liquid theory
** Quasi Fermi level, also called imref which is "fermi" spelt backwards
* Fermi heap and Fermi hole
* Fermi–Kurie plot of beta decay
* Fermi paradox, a fundamental issue in SETI
* Fermi point
* Fermi pseudopotential
* Fermi's golden rule
* Fermi motion, the quantum motion of nucleons bound inside a nucleus
* Fermi resonance
* Fermi surface
* Fermi acceleration
** Fermi–Ulam model
** Fermi–Pustyl'nikov model, a model of the Fermi acceleration mechanism
* Fermi glow
* Fermi ball
* Fermi sea
* Fermi transition
* Fermi–Walker transport
* Fermi–Dirac statistics
** Fermi–Dirac condensate
* Fermion, the class of particles that obey Fermi-Dirac statistics, a name coined by Dirac in 1945
* Fermium, a synthetic element with symbol Fm and atomic number 100.
* Fermionic field
* Thomas–Fermi model approximation
* Thomas–Fermi model
** Thomas–Fermi equation
* Thomas–Fermi screening, an approximate method for describing screening of electric field by mobile charge
* International School of Physics "Enrico Fermi", an annual summer school hosted by the Italian Physical Society

## Mathematics

* Complete Fermi–Dirac integral
* Incomplete Fermi–Dirac integral
* Fermi–Walker differentiation
* Fermi coordinates, local coordinates that are adapted to a geodesic in Riemannian geometry
* Fermi–Pasta–Ulam–Tsingou problem
* Fermi problem, estimation problem designed to teach dimensional analysis, and approximation
* Fermi paradox, typical example of a Fermi problem pertaining to extraterrestrial civilizations

## Research

* Fermilab, Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory
* Enrico Fermi Institute, Chicago, Illinois
* FeRMI, a research federation in Toulouse, France
* Fermi Avenue, Harwell Campus

## Technology

* GeForce 400 series and GeForce 500 series, also "Fermi", the codename for a graphics card architecture developed by NVIDIA
* Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope
* Enrico Fermi Nuclear Generating Station, Monroe, Michigan
* Enrico Fermi Nuclear Power Plant (Italy), Trino Vercellese, Italy
* RA-1 Enrico Fermi, Argentinian research reactor
* FERMIAC
* Fermi filter
* Fermi Linux, distributions produced Fermilab
* Fermi-Szilárd Neutronic Reactor, US patent 2,708,656
* Fermi-ization, method of estimation that involves breaking a problem into component parts, estimating each part separately and then combining the result. This method tends to produce substantially more accurate answers, even with components that are largely unknown, than less systematic approaches.
