    I know that when {{{11k_space_basis}}} is set to {{{reciprocal}}, the k-vectors are in fractional coordinates with respect to the reciprocal lattice vectors. When k_space_basis is set to “Cartesian”, are the k-points in units of 1/nm, or are they in whatever units that {{{kxmin}}}, {{{kxmax}}}, etc., that is, units of 2pi/a? (What a is supposed to be is also unclear. What would it be for a primitive wurtzite cell, for instance, a or c?)

    Hi James, The units are in reciprocal nm. —— Emailed forum response from jefonseca@gmail.com
