What are Kiloelectron-volt and Kilogram-force Centimeter

A kiloelectron-volt (keV) is a unit of energy equal to 1,000 electron-volts. It is commonly used in the fields of particle physics and electromagnetism. One electron-volt is the amount of kinetic energy gained by a single electron when it accelerates through an electric potential difference of one volt, making a keV a convenient measure for small-scale energy.

A kilogram-force centimeter (kgf·cm) is a unit of torque representing the rotational force generated by one kilogram force acting at a perpendicular distance of one centimeter from a pivot point. It is a practical unit of measure in engineering for quantifying the twisting or turning effect of a force applied to a mechanical system.

History of Kiloelectron-volt and Kilogram-force Centimeter

The conversion of kiloelectron-volts to kilogram-force centimeters dates back to the early 20th century with the development of quantum physics and the need to relate microscopic energy scales to macroscopic mechanical work.
