I have a question regarding the effective mass tensor, that I cannot seem to find the solution for. One could also rephrase this as a general question regarding the energy eigenvalues of k-points within different representations of unit-cells.<o:p class=""></o:p></div>

Let's look at the gamma point only at this point: I then constructed (using the emc.py script) a cartesian k-point grid around the Gamma point in order to get the effective mass tensor for the gamma point for each definition of the unit cell (Conduction Band).

I do not understand how this can be. I would understand that the tensors might look different due to different (absolute) orientation in k-space, but the eigenvalues should remain identical, should they not? Otherwise the physics would have changed. Especially
in the example of the Gamma point above, I would have assumed to get the exact same tensor, as the effective masses are equal in all directions. Again, the dense grid around the Gamma point is constructed as cartesian cube in both cases. <o:p class=""></o:p></div>

<div class="" style="margin: 0cm; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">
I therefore looked at the eigenvalues (energies in the conduction band) of the nscf calculation of said dense grid:<o:p class=""></o:p></div>
<div class="" style="margin: 0cm; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">
<span class="linkify">Points that should be equivalent (and are indeed identical in the primitive 8 atom case) are not in the 2 atom case, e.g. E(0.01,0,0)!=E(0,0.01,0). I varied the spacing of the grid, but to no effect. The differences are also too big to
be numeric errors:<o:p class=""></o:p></span></div>
