The phrase "atomic diameter" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in scientific contexts, particularly in discussions about atomic structure or measurements related to atoms.
Example: "The atomic diameter of hydrogen is significantly smaller than that of larger elements like lead."
Alternatives: "atomic radius" or "size of an atom".
Instead, diffusion takes place via large numbers of single atoms or dimers that move roughly one atomic diameter and are associated with highly strained rings having four atoms.
As alloying elements to improve the high temperature deformability of the C15 NbCr2 Laves intermetallics, V and Mo were selected, based on the criterion of the atomic diameter ratio between the component A and B atoms, i.e. RARB controlling the atomic free volume along the {111} shear planes in the C15 AB2 structure.
Such ultraminiature tools should be able to position their tips to within a small fraction of an atomic diameter.
The rings are linked to form sheets that are separated by a distance exceeding one atomic diameter.
Because its atomic diameter is similar to many common metals such as aluminum, iron, tin, and vanadium, titanium can easily be alloyed to improve its properties.
After a journey lasting 3 billion years, that is to say, a quarter of the age of the universe, those waves started jiggling LIGO's mirrors back and forth by a fraction of an atomic diameter 20 times a second.
Milan P. Allan and Andreas W. Rost, postdoctoral researchers in the Davis group, used a scanning tunneling microscope (STM) with a probe so sharp that its tip is a single atom, scanning across a surface in steps smaller than atomic diameters.
The next coarser type of barrier to slip is a fine, solute-rich precipitate with dimensions of only tens or hundreds of atomic diameters.
Instead, the thermal conductivity was nearly a constant across temperatures for species with different atomic diameters.
X-ray microscopes are capable of magnifying X-ray absorption images so as to resolve features on scales as small as about 40 nanometres (nm; billionths of a metre), or roughly 400 atomic diameters.
Upon approaching the solubility limit of Au in Hg, a new surface phase forms which is 1−2 atomic diameters thick and has a density of about half that of bulk Hg.
