Pauli exclusion principle
The Pauli exclusion principle, or Pauli principle, is the quantum mechanics rule that no two identical fermions, such as electrons, can share a quantum state.
Pauli matrices
The Pauli matrices, also known as Pauli operators, are three 2 × 2 complex Hermitian matrices that describe the spin of spin-1/2 particles and generate the Lie algebra of SU(2).
Pauli paramagnetism
Pauli paramagnetism is the weak, temperature-independent paramagnetism of conduction electrons in a metal, arising from electron spin alignment with an applied field and limited by the Pauli exclusion principle.
