Current Values
Here are summarized various conversion factors and physical constants used by Gaussian 16 in converting from standard to atomic units. All quantities used in calculations inside Gaussian are in atomic units; the conversion factors are used only when processing input or generating printed output. Values without references are derived from the referenced quantities.
Raw Constants. The constants which are stored directly in the program are:
