Up: Precision
Atomic precision in general can encomapass both:
- the weaker Topological atomic precision (precisely specifiable bond connectivity) and
- the stronger Positional atomic precision (precisely specifiable placement coordinates)
In both cases precision is preserved over long periods of time.
Excluding thermally rather unstable bonds and compounds (including pure metals)
or too high operation temperatures.
Note: The definition of atomic precision does not imply single-atomic manipulation.
The derived term "APM" also tells nothing about product size.
It is thus suitable for todays self assembly and all technology levels beyond technology level 0.
Advanced levels of APM though are capable of macromanufacturing of diamondoid structures with positional atomic precision.
