effective electron masses are deduced from band structure calculations (curvature of bands)




In solid state physics, effective electron masses are deduced from band structure calculations (curvature of bands). In certain cases, these masses can have negative values. Their absolute values are typically found between 0.01 and 10 times the mass of a free electron.
