Unit Cell Density Calculator implementation

Binding contract

This record describes what an executable surface must bind and validate. It does not claim that a public calculator, package, or production route is deployed.

Input and validation requirements

An extreme but representable lattice parameter of 1.0×10^-300 m causes JavaScript exponentiation to underflow a^3 to zero, producing Infinity instead of a finite density. The unit convention is also hazardous because interpreting a=0.36 as Å rather than nm changes the result by a factor of 1000.

Required corrections

No binding erratum is attached to this unique-name record. Implementers must still preserve the declared units, domain, and failure behavior.

Inspectable interface fixture
