Modern Physics for Engineers Lecture slides 15b – Crystal momentum and effective mass
This lecture part introduces the ideas of crystal momentum, the effective momentum of the electron in the periodic potential, and effective mass, the apparent mass of the electron because of the band structure. It also introduces the ideas of indirect gap and direct gap materials. (slides)
