[Pw_forum] The unit of potential (??)

[Cristian Degli Esposti Boschi]

Hi Evan,

regarding your question below, various times I had to extract the 
potential with the same parameters for pp.x

AFAIK the units used in that case are ATOMIC RYDBERG UNITS, that means 
Rydbergs (Ry) for energy, and


1 Ry = 13.6057 eV


Cheers
