ECN Forum Forums Technical Discussion Electrical Theory and Applications Do electrons Oscillate?

"Actually, a more correct term for electron travel is "drift," rather than velocity. Electrons are constantly zipping around at 1.3 million meters per second, the Fermi velocity, even at absolute zero."

What, exactly, is the Fermi velocity? A Viagra statistic, perhaps?

And I thought the definition of absolute zero was NO electron movement.
