Units for _DEN and .xsf from cut3d

Post by ckunka » Tue May 15, 2018 11:15 pm

Hi! I've been using cut3d option 9 to create .xsf files to visualize in VESTA. What are the UNITS of the electronic density in an .xsf file?

From the below page, the density output files (_DEN) seem to be in electrons/Bohr^3. Is this a typical unit for electron-density maps? Should I assume this unit is maintained in the .xsf files?

I didn't see any mention of units here:
