https://doi.org/10.1351/goldbook.K03374
The kelvin, symbol K, is the SI unit of thermodynamic temperature. It is defined by taking the fixed numerical value of the Boltzmann constant k to be 1.380 649×10−23 when expressed in the unit J K−1, which is equal to kgm2s−2K−1, where the kilogram, metre and second are defined in terms of h, c and ΔνCs.
