Why can't electrons be frozen?

You may be able to freeze electrons, but it's tricky experimentally. An interacting pure electron gas will not freeze due to the mutual Coulomb repulsion. read more

You may be able to freeze electrons, but it’s tricky experimentally. An interacting pure electron gas will not freeze due to the mutual Coulomb repulsion. For an infinite system the thermodynamic limit does not exist since the Coulomb force is a long range force. read more

A few questions to that effect have come in the last couple of days. The answer is that it can be frozen, it just isn’t as functional afterward. read more
