Plane wave basis functions
It does not matter: the coeficients are supposed to be complex, absorbing the phases.

Plane-wave basis expansion for periodic material modelling: cutoff energy inequality and number of atoms in the simulation
You’re quite right: as written, the equation is dimensionally inconsistent. There are actually a bunch of constants that make the units work out, but it is customary in matter modeling to define units ...
