Megaton
A megaton (Mton) is a unit of energy equivalent to one million tons of TNT, commonly used to measure the energy released in nuclear explosions and large-scale explosions.
History/Origin
The megaton originated during the development of nuclear weapons to quantify explosive yield, with the first use in the context of nuclear tests in the mid-20th century. It became a standard measure for describing the destructive power of nuclear devices.
Current Use
Today, the megaton is primarily used to describe the explosive yield of nuclear weapons and large-scale explosions, as well as in scientific research related to energy release and impact assessments.
Hartree Energy
The Hartree energy (Eh) is a unit of energy used in atomic physics, representing the total energy of an electron in a hydrogen atom in its ground state.
History/Origin
Named after the American physicist Douglas Hartree, the Hartree energy was introduced in the early 20th century as a fundamental atomic unit of energy within the system of atomic units, facilitating calculations in quantum mechanics.
Current Use
The Hartree energy is primarily used in theoretical and computational chemistry and physics to express energies at the atomic and molecular scale, especially in quantum chemistry calculations and atomic physics research.
