Dear all,

In matdyn.f90, we can see the unit of phonon dos (see below).
  !     fldos     output file for dos (default: 'matdyn.dos')
  !               the dos is in states/cm(-1) plotted vs omega in cm(-1)
  !               and is normalised to 3*nat, i.e. the number of phonons


But I calculated the phonon dos for MgB2 with 3 or 6 (including two primitive 
unit cells along z direction) atoms per cell, respectively. 
The calculated phonon dos of 6-atom cell by matdyn.x is exactly two times as 
large as that of 3-atom cell.
I guess that the phonon dos is not normalised to 3*nat, am I right?
So could any one tell me what is the unit of phonon dos in QE codes?


Any help will be appreciated! Thank you in advance.


Best wishes
