Square Millimeter
A square millimeter (mm²) is a unit of area equal to the area of a square with sides measuring one millimeter.
History/Origin
The square millimeter has been used in scientific and engineering contexts for precise measurement of small areas, especially in fields like electronics and material science, as a subdivision of the metric system established in the 19th century.
Current Use
It is commonly used today in fields such as electronics, manufacturing, and scientific research to measure small surface areas, including the cross-sectional areas of wires and components.
Electron Cross Section
Electron cross section (ECS) is a measure of the probability of an electron interacting with a target particle or material, typically expressed in units of area such as square meters or barns.
History/Origin
The concept of cross section originated in nuclear and particle physics to quantify interaction probabilities. The electron cross section has been developed through experimental measurements and theoretical models since the early 20th century, playing a crucial role in understanding electron-matter interactions.
Current Use
ECS is used in fields such as plasma physics, electron microscopy, and radiation physics to analyze electron scattering, collision processes, and material properties, aiding in the design of experiments and interpretation of electron interaction data.
