Examples
-
Some very interesting work was done on the relaxation of atoms back to the disordered state after pumping, which provided information on the mechanism acting in interatomic collisions and in collisions between atoms and the walls of the container.
-
A bit of friction due to interatomic or ionic collisions drains the energy from the plasma.

Solving the 3D geometry is then an optimization problem where the task is to find the 3D geometry that best reproduces the factual interatomic distances.

It was found that these neutrons, like X-rays, were useful for crystal structure determinations because their associated de Broglie wavelengths also fall in the range of typical interatomic distances in solids.

Bragg (father and son) to measure interatomic distances and to analyse the geometrical arrangement of atoms in simple crystals.

The interatomic distances in a crystal match quite well the wavelengths of X-rays. von Laue worked out the theory for diffraction in a 3-dimensional grating and made predictions, which were verified by the experiments of W. Friedrich and P. Knipping.

Now, I'm not positive about this, but I've heard that the Commonwealth armed forces have access to devices which can affect the interatomic bonds of elements.
