  2. Atomic units - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atomic_units

    In 1957, Bethe and Salpeter's book Quantum mechanics of one-and two-electron atoms [3] built on Hartree's units, which they called atomic units abbreviated "a.u.". They chose to use ⁠ ℏ {\displaystyle \hbar } ⁠ , their unit of action and angular momentum in place of Hartree's length as the base units.

  3. Femtometre - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Femtometre

    'unit of measurement') is a unit of length in the International System of Units (SI) equal to 10 −15 metres, which means a quadrillionth of one metre. This distance is sometimes called a fermi and was so named in honour of Italian naturalized to American physicist Enrico Fermi, as it is a typical length-scale of nuclear physics.

  4. Atom (measure theory) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atom_(measure_theory)

    A -finite measure on a measurable space (,) is called atomic or purely atomic if every measurable set of positive measure contains an atom. This is equivalent to say that there is a countable partition of X {\displaystyle X} formed by atoms up to a null set. [ 3 ]

  5. Orders of magnitude (length) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orders_of_magnitude_(length)

    The femtometre (SI symbol: fm) is a unit of length in the metric system equal to 10 −15 metres. In particle physics, this unit is sometimes called a fermi, also with abbreviation "fm". To help compare different orders of magnitude, this section lists lengths between 10 −15 meters and 10 −14 meters (1 femtometer and 10 fm).

  6. Lattice constant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lattice_constant

    Unit cell definition using parallelepiped with lengths a, b, c and angles between the sides given by α, β, γ [1]. A lattice constant or lattice parameter is one of the physical dimensions and angles that determine the geometry of the unit cells in a crystal lattice, and is proportional to the distance between atoms in the crystal.

  7. Atomic radius - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atomic_radius

    Covalent radius: the nominal radius of the atoms of an element when covalently bound to other atoms, as deduced from the separation between the atomic nuclei in molecules. In principle, the distance between two atoms that are bound to each other in a molecule (the length of that covalent bond) should equal the sum of their covalent radii. [13]

  8. Three-dimensional space - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three-dimensional_space

    Most commonly, it is the three-dimensional Euclidean space, that is, the Euclidean space of dimension three, which models physical space. More general three-dimensional spaces are called 3-manifolds. The term may also refer colloquially to a subset of space, a three-dimensional region (or 3D domain), [1] a solid figure.

  9. Atomic spacing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atomic_spacing

    Atomic spacing refers to the distance between the nuclei of atoms in a material. This space is extremely large compared to the size of the atomic nucleus, and is related to the chemical bonds which bind atoms together. [1] In solid materials, the atomic spacing is described by the bond lengths of its atoms.
