What are Kiloton and Hartree

A kiloton (kt) is a unit of energy equivalent to 1,000 tons of TNT. It's commonly used to express the energy released in nuclear explosions, where one kiloton represents the energy of 1,000 tons of trinitrotoluene (TNT) detonated. This unit provides a tangible comparison for the otherwise abstract energy scales in such events.

The Hartree, named after physicist Douglas Hartree, is a unit of energy used in the field of quantum chemistry and atomic physics. It's defined as the kinetic energy of an electron moving in a circular orbit around a proton, in a hydrogen-like atom where the orbit has a radius equal to the Bohr radius. This unit provides a fundamental energy scale for atomic-scale interactions.

History of Kiloton and Hartree

A brief history of the Kiloton to Hartree Energy Converter reflects the evolution of units from classical explosives to quantum mechanical energy scales. The kiloton, rooted in wartime measurements, contrasted with the Hartree, which emerged from atomic theory, highlights the diverse ways we interpret and utilize energy.
