Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 OBS
[...] repose sur le principe selon lequel des bosons (particules de spin entier) peuvent occuper le même état quantique, contrairement aux fermions qui suivent le principe d'exclusion de Pauli. Plus précisément, [...] pour un gaz de bosons donné, il existe une température critique en dessous de laquelle un nombre macroscopique des particules quantiques peuplent l'état de moindre énergie, formant un « condensat de Bose-Einstein ». 1, record 1, French, - condensation%20de%20Bose%2DEinstein
