    <p>Yes, the k numbers in case.spaghetti_ene should always be in
      2*pi/bohr.</p>
    <p>As was stated in [1], if Ang numbers are inputted (into StructGen
      of w2web), it is converted from Ang to bohr and stored always as a
      bohr number in case.struct and an Ang flag is set (if that unit
      type was selected in StructGen) in the file.  The Ang flag in
      case.struct is for StructGen, if the program sees the flag, then
      StructGen converts the bohr number before StructGen displays it to
      you.</p>
    <p>The energy numbers in case.spaghetti_ene, however, might not
      always be in eV.  If you look at page 194 in section "8.23.2
      Input" of the WIEN2k 19.1 usersguide [2], there is "energy switch
      (1:Ry, 2:eV)" in case.insp.  So the energy might be in unit of Ry
      in case.spaghetti_ene if that switch was set to 1.<br>

          The column 4 is k along the path (units 2pi/bohr). The 5th
          column is the <br>
          energy (eV) relative to the Fermi energy.<br>
          <br>
          For fitting, follow Gavin's instructions (see recent posts).
          In addition <br>
          to that, I suggest fitting data only within 30-40 meV from the
          band <br>
          extremum, which is roughly kT at the room temperature. Higher
          energies <br>
          will not be slumped by charge carriers and thus are
          irrelevant. Some <br>
          bands can be quite non-parabolic. It is always good to have at
          least 7 <br>
          point for fitting and check if the 2nd order coefficient in
          the <br>
          polynomial changes if you increase the polynomial order to 4th
          order.<br>
          <br>
          Good luck<br>
