Gigaton
A gigaton (Gton) is a unit of mass equal to one billion metric tons or 10^9 metric tons.
History/Origin
The gigaton has been used in scientific and environmental contexts to quantify large-scale phenomena such as greenhouse gas emissions and ice mass changes, gaining prominence in climate science discussions since the late 20th century.
Current Use
Currently, the gigaton is used to measure and communicate large quantities of emissions, such as annual carbon dioxide emissions from countries or sectors, and to assess changes in global ice mass and other large-scale environmental metrics.
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.
