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.
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.
