[Pw_forum] Which coordinates of K point should be used, referencing to reciprocal CONVENTIONAL vectors or reciprocal PRIMITIVE vectors?

Hi Hongsheng,

You can find definitions of lattice vectors in INPUT_PW.txt and
calculate reciprocal vectors according to definition of reciprocal
vector. The name sometimes doesn't matter.

Best Wishes
