Abstract

Based on our analysis of factual material (27 various crystals), we have shown the universality of the linear scale composed of Planck’s constant, the density, and Young’s modulus by the dimensional method. This scale is 1 angstrom, i.e., 10−10 m, with a logarithmic accuracy. The quantum effects become significant starting from this scale.
