About Microcoulombs per centimetre

The microcoulomb per centimetre (µC/cm) equals exactly 10⁻⁴ C/m, used in electrophoresis and charged-particle beam physics. Charged particle beams in linear accelerators are characterised by bunch charge per unit beam length; a 1 nC electron bunch compressed to 1 mm gives 1 µC/cm = 0.1 mC/m; ion implant beam line charge densities are quoted in µC/cm for process uniformity. 1 µC/cm = 10⁻⁴ C/m = 0.1 mC/m.

About Femtocoulombs per metre

The femtocoulomb per metre (fC/m) equals 10⁻¹⁵ C/m, arising in scanning probe measurements of charged surface features and in single-molecule electrostatic force microscopy. A single elementary charge (1.6 × 10⁻¹⁹ C) localised on a 1 µm polymer segment gives about 0.16 fC/m; EFM tip-sample interaction models use fC/m-scale induced charge distributions. 1 fC/m = 10⁻¹⁵ C/m = 10⁻³ pC/m.
