[Pw_forum] ldos and pdos

[barfi koa]

Dear PWScf Users

I have read the forum (about example 08) but I have confused the definition
and meaning of dosup(E), dosdw(E) ,  Int dos(E), ldosup(E),  ldosdw(E) ,
pdosup(E),  pdosdw(E). I would appreciate if one explains them more clearly.
Is up/dw related to spin up and down electrons ? If one adds dosup(E) to
dosdw(E) what if the result means ? in the latter case what does Int dos(E)
mean ? what is the difference between ldos and pdos in below PDOS section
and in which way I can ascribe them to d(xy) , d(xz) and ... orbitals ?
The results in the below are some parts of example 08 of Quantum Espresso:

DOS:
#  E (eV)   dosup(E)     dosdw(E)   Int dos(E)
  5.749  0.0000E+00  0.0000E+00  0.0000E+00

  6.149  0.1422E-01  0.1860E-01  0.6067E-02
PDOS:
# E (eV)  ldosup(E)  ldosdw(E) pdosup(E)  pdosdw(E)  pdosup(E)  pdosdw(E)
pdosup(E)  pdosdw(E)  pdosup(E)  pdosdw(E)  pdosup(E)  pdosdw(E)
