(symbol eV), also written electron-volt and electron volt, is the measure of an amount of kinetic energy gained by a single electron accelerating through an...

named after Alessandro Volta. Volt or Volts may also refer to: electron volt (eV), a unit of energy in physics volt-ampere (VA), a unit used to measure...

he had accelerated sodium and potassium ions to an energy of 50,000 electron volts (50 keV), twice the energy they would have received if accelerated only...

rather in terms of a particle's energy or momentum, usually measured in electron volts (eV). An important principle for circular accelerators, and particle...

coordinator of study for detectors at the ILC. The ILC would collide electrons with positrons. It will be between 30 km and 50 km (19–31 mi) long, more...

Gilbert N. Lewis in 1926. Emission of conduction electrons from typical metals requires a few electron-volt (eV) light quanta, corresponding to short-wavelength...

specific quantity (4.9 electron volts) of its kinetic energy before flying away. This energy loss corresponds to decelerating the electron from a speed of about...

photoionisation. The energy required for this is always larger than about 10 electron volt (eV) corresponding with wavelengths smaller than 124 nm (some sources...

The electron ( e− , or β− in nuclear reactions) is a subatomic particle with a negative one elementary electric charge. Electrons belong to the first...

ultra-high-energy gamma rays with energies exceeding 1 peta-electron-volt (quadrillion electron-volts or PeV), including one at 1.4 PeV, the highest energy...
