[Pw_forum] DOS calculation for non collinear magnetic ordering

[Xun-Wang Yan]

Dear pwscf users,
    I have calculated the density of states for the noncolinear magnetic
CuCrO2,  the angle between  spin directions of two Cr atoms is 120 degrees.
    the magnetic moment is about 3 Bohr magnetons per Cr atom, I think the
pdosup(E) is different from the pdosdw(E),  but the 'pdosup(E)'  and
'pdosdw(E)'  are  just the same  in  output file--
 120-AFM-12at-tricli.pdos_atm#6(Cr3)_wfc#2(d).

  # E(eV)  ldosup(E)  ldosdw(E) pdosup(E)  pdosdw(E)  pdosup(E)  pdosdw(E)

my questions :
         What do pdosup and pdosdw  mean  in  DOS output file for
noncolinear magnetic ordjering? the 'up' means Sz=1/2 ?  but the spin
direction is vertical to  z  axes in my unit cell.
          how to deal with the DOS of noncolinear magnetic structure in
version espresso-4.0.1?

Any comments are welcome , many thanks in advance.
