What Is This Tool?

This converter transforms area values from barn, a nuclear physics unit representing very small cross-sectional areas, into square nanometers, an SI-derived unit used in nanoscale surface measurements.

How to Use This Tool?

  • Enter the value in barn units you wish to convert
  • Select barn [b] as the from-unit and square nanometer [nm²] as the to-unit
  • Click convert to view the corresponding value expressed in square nanometers

Key Features

  • Converts area from barn [b] to square nanometer [nm²]
  • Supports extremely small unit conversions useful in physics and nanotechnology
  • Browser-based and easy to use without complex calculations

Examples

  • 5 barn [b] converts to 5 × 1e-10 = 5e-10 square nanometers [nm²]
  • 0.1 barn [b] converts to 0.1 × 1e-10 = 1e-11 square nanometers [nm²]

Common Use Cases

  • Reporting nuclear reaction and neutron-capture cross sections in scientific tables
  • Expressing particle-collision cross sections measured at particle accelerators
  • Describing surface areas of molecules, nanoparticles or unit cells in 2D materials
  • Specifying features in semiconductor nanolithography and integrated circuits
  • Reporting scanned areas in atomic force and scanning tunneling microscopy

Tips & Best Practices

  • Use scientific notation for very small converted values to maintain clarity
  • Verify units before converting to ensure interdisciplinary compatibility
  • Understand the context of the barn unit to interpret your results accurately

Limitations

  • Barn is an extremely small unit, resulting values in square nanometers can be tiny decimals
  • Converted numbers may be inconvenient for direct nanoscale measurements without proper notation

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a barn used for?
A barn is primarily used in nuclear and particle physics to express cross-sectional areas for scattering and reaction processes.
