Band mass

The second factor does depend upon the particular atomic potential and must be computed. This factor is the band mass p,i and it is proportional to the reciprocal of the radius squared at the Wigner-Seitz sphere...

Armed with the band masses and relative positions of the band centres one may easily sketch the likely valence electron energies in actinide metals and compounds. This is useful because it is easy to understand, involves no computation and gives a rough idea of what to expect from large machine computations of electronic structure. 

Fig. 6 shows the IR-TPR of CsHb partial oxidation over Au/Ti0x-Si02. The interaction of Ar/C3He/H2/02 with the catalyst surface at 50 °C led to decrease in the band intensity of OH vibration at 3741 cm and the formation of a 1662 cm (C=0 of adsorbed acetone) band. Mass spec, results in Fig. 7 shows the reaction produced propionaldehyde, acetone, and CO2. The rate of product formation peaked at 140 °C. 

By comparing experiments on photo-excited Ti02 to n-type doped Ti02 X,(x=0.0005) we conclude that the pump-induced THz absorption originates primarily from photo-generated electrons, rather than from holes, in accordance with the large hole band mass (>4m ). 

Here the matrix element is that of the momentum operator p, in the x-direction, since we have chosen k to lie in the x-direction. The matrix element is taken between the state Fi of the conduction-band minimum and any other state T at r the denominator is the energy difference between the two states. We drop all terms in this sum except those with the valence-band maximum, for which the energy denominator is the smallest and the contribution the largest. It can be shown by symmetry that the matrix clement vanishes for the two heavy-hole bands (they correspond to p orbitals with an orientation perpendicular to the x-axis), so only the matrix element between wave functions for the conduction band and the light-hole band remains. The denominator is the band gap Eq, so wc may extract a conduction-band mass from Eq. (6-26). This mass is given by...

Here and in the following we shall often drop the subscript i. Instead of the parameter (C-V), which is obviously connected to the bandwidth, one may introduce the band mass parameters y and t...
