About Abcoulombs per square centimetre
The abcoulomb per square centimetre (abC/cm²) is the surface charge density unit of the CGS-EMU system, equal to 1 abC / 1 cm² = 10 C / 10⁻⁴ m² = 10⁵ C/m². It appears in nineteenth-century electromagnetic engineering texts on telegraph cable and dynamo analysis; the abC/cm² is the natural surface density unit when using abamperes and centimetres. 1 abC/cm² = 10⁵ C/m² = 100 kC/m².
About Picocoulombs per square metre
The picocoulomb per square metre (pC/m²) equals 10⁻¹² C/m², the scale for surface charge density on lightly charged polymer electret films and semiconductor surface states. Low-dose ion-implanted silicon has surface charge densities of 1-100 pC/m²; piezoelectric polymer films (PVDF) accumulate picocoulombs per square metre at low mechanical stress. 1 pC/m² = 10⁻¹² C/m² = 10⁻³ nC/m².
