What are Hartree and Megaelectron-volt

Definition of Hartree

The Hartree, symbolized as Eh, is a unit of energy used in the field of atomic physics. It is defined as the kinetic energy of an electron orbiting an atom's nucleus at the Bohr radius. The Hartree is equivalent to the potential energy between a nucleus and electron in a hydrogen atom in its ground state. It is a fundamental unit within the Hartree-Fock method for calculating the energies of atoms and molecules.

Definition of Megaelectron-volt

A Megaelectron-volt (MeV) is a unit of energy commonly used in particle physics. It represents one million electron-volts (eV), where an electron-volt is the amount of kinetic energy gained or lost by a single electron when it moves across an electric potential difference of one volt. In simpler terms, it is a unit that measures the energy of particles or photons in high-energy physics environments.
