class horton.meanfield.occ.FermiOccModel(*noccs, **kwargs)

Bases: horton.meanfield.occ.AufbauOccModel

Arguments:

nalpha, nbeta, …
The number of electrons in each channel.

Optional keyword arguments:

temperature
Controls the width of the distribution (derivative)
eps
The error on the sum of the occupation number when searching for the right Fermi level.

For each channel, the orbital occupations are assigned with the Fermi distribution:

\[n_i = \frac{1}{1 + e^{(\epsilon_i - \mu)/k_B T}}\]

where, for a given set of energy levels, \(\{\epsilon_i\}\), the chemical potential, \(\mu\), is optimized as to satisfy the following constraint:

\[\sum_i n_i = n_\text{occ}\]

where \(n_\text{occ}\) can be set per (spin) channel. This is only a part of the methodology presented in [rabuck1999].
