The masses written in the dynamical matrix file are?0?2 given in?0?2 `Ryd-based` atomic unit.

that is

mass_ryd_au?0?2 = mass_amu *?0?2 AMU_SI / ELECTRONMASS_SI * 0.5

where mass_amu in the mass of the atom in the usual atomic mass unit (like 12 for Carbon-12 isotope)

AMU_SI?0?2?0?2?0?2?0?2?0?2?0?2?0?2?0?2?0?2?0?2 = 1.660538782E-27_DP?0?2 Kg

ELECTRONMASS_SI?0?2 = 9.10938215E-31_DP?0?2?0?2?0?2 Kg

0.5 is the mass of an electron in Ryd atomic units

as such the frequencies obtained diagonalizing the dynamical matrix are such that

\hbar omega are given in rydberg?0?2 (where \hbar = 1 in ryd_au )

Dear all,
?0?2 ?0?2 What is the unit of the dynamical matrix printed in file *.dyn* ?

Thanks,
