What are Kiloelectron-volt and Attojoule

A kiloelectron-volt (keV) is a unit of energy equal to 1,000 electron-volts (eV). It is commonly used in the fields of physics and chemistry to measure the energy of particles and photons. One keV is equivalent to 1.60218 x 10^-16 joules. It's particularly useful in the context of atomic-scale interactions and high-energy processes, where the electron-volt serves as a more practical unit than the joule.

An attojoule (aJ) is a minuscule unit of energy in the International System of Units (SI), equivalent to 10^-18 joules. This unit is often used in the realm of molecular and atomic physics where extremely low energy transitions occur. Attojoules help in measuring and expressing energy levels that are imperceptible in everyday life, reflecting the quantum scale of energy changes.

History of Kiloelectron-volt and Attojoule

A brief history of the Kiloelectron-volt to Attojoule conversion spans back to the establishment of the electron-volt as a standard unit of energy measurement in physics. The need to bridge macroscopic and quantum scales led to the creation of converters, facilitating the translation of energy units like keV to incredibly small scales such as aJ.
