<br>
Yes, it is. This label is only meant to be read by w2web, in order
to <br>
display the lattice constants *in w2web* in the specified units.<br>

Yes, it is in 1/bohr, i.e. units of 2 pi/a.<br>
I guess you can easily verify this yourself. Check your lattice
parameter in case.struct<br>
(it is in bohr) and 2pi/a is ....<br>
<br>
However, it is NOT "the absolute value of the k-vector", but its
distance from the previous k-vector.<br>

<div>I want to calculate the effective mass but I am not
complete sure about the unit of k at the fourth column of
case.spaghetti. The unit of my lattice parameters at the
case.struct are Angstrom therefore it means that the unit of k
must be 1/A is it right?</div>
