| 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 Millikan who first measured the elemental charge '''e'''
