Dear VASP authors and users,
My question is:
In which unit are the k-point coordinates in KPOINTS read?
If the system is cubic, the unit is 2pi/a (a lattice constant).
How a bout the tetragonal system with 2 lattice parameter a and c?
Thank you very much.

Question on unit of k-point coordinates
please have a look into a solid state physics textbook for the construction of the reciprocal lattice and the unit vectors of the first Brillouin zone. (they are written in OUTCAR)
