Dear users,

About the wave functions generated by Abinit
I have a couple of questions:

1. Which form is it actually written:
   
   psi_nk(x) (ie,  e^(ikx) u_nk(x)) 
   
   or   u_nk(x) only. I would expect the latter.

2. What is the convention used:

   psi_nk(x) = e^(ikx) u_nk(x)

    or

   psi_nk(x) = e^(-ikx) u_nk(x), (note the -ve sign)

Thanks in advance.

Best wishes,
Joydeep
