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.
About Nanocoulombs per cubic metre
The nanocoulomb per cubic metre (nC/m³) equals 10⁻⁹ C/m³, the scale for thundercloud volume charge and laboratory low-pressure plasmas. The main negative charge region of a mature thunderstorm has volume charge density of 1-5 nC/m³; glow discharge plasma at ~1 Pa has space charge density in the nC/m³ to µC/m³ range. 1 nC/m³ = 10⁻⁹ C/m³ = 10⁻³ µC/m³.
