Hi Elias,
As if you can see the README file in QHA, you will get a Ghost_DOS.x
excutable file which removes all the NaN condtions occured in PHDOS. So in
my observation, strickly you have to findout the PHDOS file from the QHA
directory itself so that it can overcome the problem of NaN condtions
instead of your calculated PHDOS.
I think you got my point.
