Dear all,

what are the units of the PDOS in the DOS_AT???? files ? I don't think they are simply states/energy because if I integrate the total DOS up to the Fermi level I get a value bigger than the number of electrons I have in the system.

Thanks a lot in advance for your kind reply.

The DoS uses several smearing technique, which may make it "over-complete", like coherent states. Thus I personally think it is quite OK if you normalize them using the total # of electrons in the system.

OK, thanks a lot for your answer.
