Thank you very much for solving my confusion. I'm really using a Cartesian 
coordinate system. Thank you!!!

主题: Re: [QE-users] Effective mass and the unit of k

Dear Jiale Shen
If i understand your question correctly you are asking why the following 
k-point values neither matches 1/A nor 2*pi/A. ?
k-vaspkit k-vasprun.xml k-QE 1/A 2pi/A ? 0 0 0 0.019 0.00302 0.0174 0.038 
0.00605 0.0347 0.05699 0.00907 0.0521 0.07599 0.01209 0.0694 0.09499 0.01512 
0.0868 0.11399 0.01814 0.1042 0.13299 0.02117 0.1215 0.15198 0.02419 0.1389 
0.17098 0.02721 0.1562 0.18998 0.03024 0.1736 0.20898 0.03326 0.191 0.22798 
0.03628 0.2083 0.24697 0.03931 0.2257 0.26597 0.04233 0.243.
 check your  scf input file whether atom positions are given in cartesian 
coordinates. If this is correct then what you have here in the 3rd column is 
the magnitude of the k-vector given in 1/A units and not necessarily the same 
as your first column. If you have used the atom positions of both VASP and QE 
using the same units then these k-points will match.
