électronvolt [...] Unité d'énergie (symb. eV) utilisée principalement en physique atomique et moléculaire, égale à l'énergie acquise par un électron lorsqu'il est accéléré par unE différence de potentiel de 1 volt. (Par ex., l'énergie d'ionisation de l'atome d'hydrogène est de 13,6 eV.) 1, record 1, French, - giga%C3%A9lectronvolt
