Square Inch
A square inch is a unit of area measurement equal to the area of a square with sides of one inch.
History/Origin
The square inch has been used historically in the imperial and US customary systems for measuring small areas, especially in engineering, manufacturing, and real estate, dating back to the adoption of the inch as a standard unit of length.
Current Use
Today, the square inch is still used in various fields such as printing, screen sizes, and material measurements, although the square meter is more common internationally. It remains a standard unit within the 'Area' converter in measurement tools and applications.
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.
