Millikan is a new and shorter name for the elementary charge unit:
: [q] = '''e''' = '''Mi'''
whereby
:1 '''Mi''' = 1.6E-19 '''C'''
 
The introduction of the Millikan became necessary because:
# the elementary charge unit lacks official status
# the elementary charge unit however is widely used in the MS comunity
# the former concept for avoiding the elementary charge unit based on the dimensionless [[m/z]] is based on a missconception
 
The unit has its name from Robert [Wikkipedia:Millikan] who first measured the elemental charge '''e'''
