The 11 pages that link to Effective mass, each with the reason it gives.

• Bloch's theoremRelated: The curvature of Bloch energy bands determines carrier effective masses.

• Band structureRelated: Band curvature determines the effective mass used to model carrier motion.

• Electronic band structureBroader topic: Band curvature near an extremum determines the carrier's effective mass.

• Quantum confinementRelated: Carrier effective mass helps determine confinement energies in semiconductor structures.

• Reduced massNarrower topic: Reduced mass is a specific effective mass derived for a pair of interacting bodies.

• QuasiparticleRelated: Interactions can make a quasiparticle's inertial response differ from a bare particle's.

• Nearly-free-electron modelRelated: Band curvature derived from the model determines the electron's effective mass near extrema.

• Electron mobilityRelated: Band curvature sets the electron’s inertial response and therefore affects mobility.

• Massless particleCompared with: Light can acquire an effective mass-like dispersion in matter without gaining vacuum invariant mass.

• Band structure methodsRelated: Curvature near band extrema turns calculated dispersions into estimates of carrier motion.

• Valence and conduction bandsRelated: Band curvature determines the effective masses of electrons and holes.
