The hartree (symbol: Eh), also known as the Hartree energy, is the atomic unit of energy,[1] named after the British physicist Douglas Hartree. It is defined as the electric potential energy of the hydrogen atom in its ground state, and is equal to 2R∞hc0, where R∞ is the Rydberg constant, h is the Planck constant and c0 is the speed of light. The 2006 CODATA recommended value is Eh = 4.359 743 94(22) × 10−18 J = 27.211 383 86(68) eV.[2]
The hartree energy is approximately twice the ionization energy of hydrogen: the relationship is not exact because the nucleus of the hydrogen atom does not have infinite mass. However, the relationship Eh = 2R∞hc0 is exact, as the effects of non-infinite nuclear mass are already considered in the Rydberg constant (hence the subscript infinity).
The hartree is usually used as a unit of energy in calculational chemistry: for experimental measurements at the atomic scale, the electronvolt (eV) or the reciprocal centimetre (cm−1) are much more widely used.
