The function kwant.lattice.honeycomb returns a honeycomb lattice where the lattice constant of the underlying triangular lattice is determined by the parameter 'a' that has a default value of 1. Kwant does not take care of units, it’s up to you to attribute (or not) any meaning to the real space position of Kwant sites. By default, the real space position is only used for plotting.
