Sentence examples for scale the surface from inspiring English sources

Measurements of the amount of sunlight reflected back in the direction of illumination indicate the reason: on a small scale the surface is extremely rough, and light reflected from within mineral grains and deep cavities remains shadowed until the illumination source is directly behind the observer i.e., until the full moon at which time light abruptly reflects out of the cavities.

As the dimensions reduce down to sub-50-nm scale, the surface roughness plays a crucial role in determining the performance of the device.

The SEM microphotographs were evaluated with the help of visual analogue scale, the surface roughness for group A = 0 very rough surface, group C = 1 rough surface, group B = 2 smooth surface, and group D = 3 very smooth surface.

X-ray photoemission spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy and glancing angle X-ray diffraction were employed to analyze the valence states of the oxide scale, the surface morphology, and the phase composition of the oxidation layers.

Notably, this scenario is almost impossible to grasp within the length scale probed by STM: Down to the atomic scale, the surface shows the usual atomic ordering consisting in flat reconstructed terraces with c(4 × 2)/(2 × 1) domain patterns and atomic steps (Figure 4a,b,c,d)[11], whereas the resulting pit areas are too steep for STM imaging.

On a sub-kilometer scale the surface of Callisto is more degraded than the surfaces of other icy Galilean moons.

However, with decreasing the electrode size into nanometer scale, the surface-to-volume ratio will become very high, meaning that surface effect will have a significant role in determining the mechanical behavior of the electrode.

Further, as a novel bio-mimetic approach for tribological application at micro-scale, the surface topography of natural leaves of Lotus and Colocasia were replicated by capillary force lithography using two different molding techniques.

Note that the conductivity of the top layer has been obtained by scaling the surface conductance map to a thickness of 10 km.

He added: "The scale of the surface response is truly unprecedented, both for BP and for the oil industry".

The inset in the upper left corner relates the color scale to the surface height.
