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 Picocoulombs per metre

The picocoulomb per metre (pC/m) equals 10⁻¹² C/m, the scale for charge induced on carbon nanotubes by gate electrodes and for lightly charged polymer chains. A metallic single-wall carbon nanotube at a gate bias of a few volts carries about 10-100 pC/m; weakly charged polyelectrolytes in high-salt solution have effective linear charge densities of 1-100 pC/m after ion condensation. 1 pC/m = 10⁻¹² C/m = 10⁻³ nC/m.
