Abstract:
We review thermal-statistical considerations on the odd-even staggering effect (OES) in fermions. There is a well known OES in nuclear binding energies at zero temperature. We discuss here a thermal OES (finite temperatures) that establishes links with the order-disorder disjunction. The present thermal considerations cannot be found in the nuclear literature.
