Abstract
The equation of state for a degenerate electron gas is derived in an explicit form from the Fermi–Dirac distribution due to analytical expansions in terms of the degeneracy parameter. A direct computer calculation is performed with the exact integral formulas of the Fermi−Dirac distribution so that to confirm the analytical approximations obtained. Practical formulas for the equation of state and chemical potential for degenerate electron gas are recommended.
