About Megacoulombs per cubic metre
The megacoulomb per cubic metre (MC/m³) equals 10⁶ C/m³, arising in degenerately doped semiconductor junctions and dense plasma physics. A degenerately doped silicon layer at 10²⁵ /m³ carries ρ ≈1.6 MC/m³; dense Z-pinch plasma cores at 10²⁵ /m³ reach MC/m³ charge densities; metallic conductor free-electron densities are GC/m³ scale. 1 MC/m³ = 10⁶ C/m³ = 10³ kC/m³.
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.
