Effective masses in complex band structures, a code to extract them
Abstract
A code to extract the effective masses for the density of states and the conductivity of an arbitrary band structure is presented and the meaning of these masses for the band structure transport properties is clarified. The code, named Effective A code to extract the effective masses for the density of states and the conductivity of an arbitrary band structure is presented and the meaning of these masses for the band structure transport properties is clarified. The code, named Effective Mass Finder code (EMAF), computes the effective mass parameters for a given, generic and arbitrary, three-dimensional (3D) bandstructure of semiconductors. The EMAF code is written in MATLAB and is released open source under the GNU GPL v3.0 license github and ResearchGate.
