Dear PWSCF users,

I would like to write a script in order to manipulate cube files that are output in quantum espresso. However, although I find general information about how cube files are ordered,(http://paulbourke.net/dataformats/cube/), but there is not much information about the unit of electron charges on each grid point for volumetric density. Normally, when I sum all the charge density values on grid points in a loop, multiply with volume and divide by number of grid points I should have the total number of electrons in the system, but it is not working out for me. I would be happy if someone provide some information or documentation which tells how to correctly integrate over volumetric density in cube files to find total number of electrons.

Thanks,
Kayahan
