It is atomic units, namely qe/a0^3. a0 in the bohr radius, but I'm not  
sure if qe is 1 or sqrt(2). This issue has already been discussed on the  
mailing list a few times I think you should a be able to find a documented  
sensible answer in the archives. If you need to be 100% sure you will have  
to integrate it.
