  2. 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.

  3. Atomic radius - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atomic_radius

    Under most definitions the radii of isolated neutral atoms range between 30 and 300 pm (trillionths of a meter), or between 0.3 and 3 ångströms. Therefore, the radius of an atom is more than 10,000 times the radius of its nucleus (1–10 fm ), [ 2 ] and less than 1/1000 of the wavelength of visible light (400–700 nm ).

  4. LeRoy radius - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LeRoy_Radius

    LeRoy later defined an expression for the radius that approximates a boundary between the region where electron exchange (quantum-mechanical) terms are prominent, and the region where atoms and molecules approximately interact through the laws of classical physics and, thus, LeRoy-Bernstein theory (as independent charge distributions and van ...

  5. Grain boundary - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grain_boundary

    Schematic representations of a tilt boundary (top) and a twist boundary between two idealised grains. The simplest boundary is that of a tilt boundary where the rotation axis is parallel to the boundary plane. This boundary can be conceived as forming from a single, contiguous crystallite or grain which is gradually bent by some external force ...

  6. Crystal structure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crystal_structure

    A grain boundary is a single-phase interface, with crystals on each side of the boundary being identical except in orientation. The term "crystallite boundary" is sometimes, though rarely, used. Grain boundary areas contain those atoms that have been perturbed from their original lattice sites, dislocations , and impurities that have migrated ...

  7. Atomic radii of the elements (data page) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atomic_radii_of_the...

    Since the boundary is not a well-defined physical entity, there are various non-equivalent definitions of atomic radius. Depending on the definition, the term may apply only to isolated atoms, or also to atoms in condensed matter , covalently bound in molecules , or in ionized and excited states ; and its value may be obtained through ...

  9. Dihedral angle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dihedral_angle

    A dihedral angle is the angle between two intersecting planes or half-planes. In chemistry, it is the clockwise angle between half-planes through two sets of three atoms, having two atoms in common. In solid geometry, it is defined as the union of a line and two half-planes that have this line as a common edge.
