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.
Square Mil
A square mil is a unit of area equal to the area of a square with sides measuring one mil (thousandth of an inch).
History/Origin
The square mil has been used primarily in engineering and manufacturing to measure very small areas, especially in fields like electronics and materials science, where precision at a microscopic scale is required.
Current Use
Today, the square mil is mainly used in the electronics industry to specify the cross-sectional area of wires and conductors, as well as in materials science for measuring tiny surface areas.
