About Statvolts per centimetre
The statvolt per centimetre (statV/cm) is the electric field unit of the CGS-Gaussian system, equal to c / 10⁴ V/m where c = 299 792 458 m/s, giving exactly 29 979.2458 V/m. It is the natural field unit for Gaussian-CGS electrostatics; the field at 1 cm from a 1-statcoulomb point charge in vacuum is exactly 1 statV/cm; Gaussian-system formulas for Coulomb's law and dielectric polarisation use statV/cm without a 4πε₀ factor. 1 statV/cm ≈ 29.979 kV/m.
About Gigavolts per metre
The gigavolt per metre (GV/m) equals 10⁹ V/m, the scale for avalanche breakdown in semiconductor junctions, electron field emission from metal tips, and intense laser-pulse focal fields. Silicon p-n junction avalanche fields are 0.3-0.5 GV/m; electron field emission from tungsten tips begins near 1-5 GV/m; intense femtosecond laser pulses produce peak fields exceeding 1 GV/m in the focal volume. 1 GV/m = 10⁹ V/m.
