About Nanocoulombs per metre
The nanocoulomb per metre (nC/m) equals 10⁻⁹ C/m, the scale for DNA backbone charge density and strongly gated carbon nanotube charge. B-form DNA carries approximately -2 elementary charges per 0.34 nm base pair spacing, giving an intrinsic linear charge density of about -0.94 nC/m; strongly biased nanotube transistors reach several nC/m. 1 nC/m = 10⁻⁹ C/m = 10⁻³ µC/m.
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.
