About these units
Square Mil (mil²)
A square mil equals the area of a square one mil (0.001 inch) on each side, producing an area of one-millionth of a square inch. This tiny unit appears in microfabrication, thin-film manufacturing, and fine electronic component design. Engineers rely on mils and mil² for PCB trace design, wire bonding pads, and micro-mechanical parts. Despite modern efforts to shift toward metric units, mils remain deeply embedded in American electronics manufacturing due to legacy tooling and engineering standards.
Electron Cross Section (σₑ)
The electron cross section, often denoted σₑ, is not a fixed unit but rather a physical area representing the effective interaction size of an electron in scattering experiments. It is typically expressed in barns or submultiples such as square femtometers (fm²). Electron cross sections are vital in quantum electrodynamics (QED), X-ray scattering, atomic physics, and materials science. These values describe how electrons interact with photons, atoms, or other electrons, determining phenomena such as absorption, conductivity, and radiation shielding. Because electron interactions are probabilistic, σₑ provides a statistical measure of likelihood rather than a physical surface, illustrating how area units are used conceptually at quantum scales.
