Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 DEF
A size range of approximately 1 to 100 nm. 5, record 1, English, - nanoscale
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 CONT
The nanoscopic scale is, roughly speaking, a lower bound to the mesoscopic scale for most solids. For technical purposes, the nanoscopic scale is the size at which the expected fluctuations of the averaged properties due to the motion and behavior of individual particles can no longer be reduced to below some desirable threshold (often a few percent), and must be rigorously established within the context of any particular problem. 6, record 1, English, - nanoscale
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 OBS
nm: nanometre. 7, record 1, English, - nanoscale
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 2 OBS
Properties that are not extrapolations from a larger size will typically, but not exclusively, be exhibited in this size range. For such properties the size limits are considered approximate. 5, record 1, English, - nanoscale
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 3 OBS
The lower limit in this definition (approximately 1 nm) is introduced to avoid single and small groups of atoms from being designated as nano-objects or elements of nanostructures, which might be implied by the absence of a lower limit. 5, record 1, English, - nanoscale
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 4 OBS
Features of nanometric scale: thin films, fine particles, chemical synthesis, advanced microlithography. 2, record 1, English, - nanoscale
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 5 OBS
nanoscale: term and definition standardized by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). 8, record 1, English, - nanoscale

Échelle de longueur s'étendant approximativement de 1 à 100 nm. 6, record 1, French, - %C3%A9chelle%20nanom%C3%A9trique
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 CONT
Les particules à la nanoéchelle, faciles à fabriquer de manière sporadique, mais difficiles à assembler, devraient tirer profit d'une nouvelle technologie de «retouche collante», dont les chercheurs de l'Université du Michigan disent qu'elle permet l'assemblage automatique à la nanoéchelle. 7, record 1, French, - %C3%A9chelle%20nanom%C3%A9trique

Record number: 1, Textual support number: 2 OBS
Les propriétés qui ne constituent pas des extrapolations par rapport à des dimensions plus grandes sont généralement, mais pas exclusivement, présentes dans cette échelle de longueur. Pour ces propriétés, les limites dimensionnelles indiquées sont approximatives. 6, record 1, French, - %C3%A9chelle%20nanom%C3%A9trique

La réduction de la dimension des systèmes jusqu'à une échelle nanométrique affecte de façon spectaculaire leurs propriétés physiques. 10, record 1, French, - %C3%A9chelle%20nanom%C3%A9trique
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 5 OBS
Dans cette définition, une limite inférieure (approximativement 1 nm) a été introduite pour éviter que des atomes individuels ou de petits groupes d’atomes soient considérés comme étant des nano-objets ou des éléments de nanostructures, ce qui aurait pu être le cas en l’absence d'une telle limite. 6, record 1, French, - %C3%A9chelle%20nanom%C3%A9trique
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 6 OBS
nano-échelle : terme normalisé par l'Organisation internationale de normalisation (ISO) dans la norme ISO/TS 27687:2008(F), mais non repris dans la norme plus récente ISO/TS 80004-4:2011(F). Dans cette dernière, il est indiqué que l'ISO/TS 27687:2008 doit faire l'objet d’une révision et devenir l'ISO/TS 80004-2. 8, record 1, French, - %C3%A9chelle%20nanom%C3%A9trique
