About Gigacoulombs per cubic metre
The gigacoulomb per cubic metre (GC/m³) equals 10⁹ C/m³, the natural scale for free-electron charge density in metals. Copper has ~8.5×10²⁸ free electrons/m³, giving total free-charge density ≈13.6 GC/m³; gold is ≈9.4 GC/m³; this scale is also used in extreme fusion plasma models at densities above 10²⁸ /m³. 1 GC/m³ = 10⁹ C/m³ = 10³ MC/m³.
About Microcoulombs per cubic metre
The microcoulomb per cubic metre (µC/m³) equals 10⁻⁶ C/m³, arising in streamer discharge preionisation zones and very lightly doped semiconductor depletion regions. Silicon doped at ~6×10¹² /m³ has depletion charge density ≈1 µC/m³; outer glow-discharge column space charge is in the µC/m³ range. 1 µC/m³ = 10⁻⁶ C/m³ = 10⁻³ mC/m³.
