[Wien] Effective Mass of Hole calculation

[Gavin Abo]

The hole effective mass has a slightly different equation [

].  Whether that is the cause of your problem, I don't know.


That electron effective mass parabolic approximation example [ 
https://www.mail-archive.com/wien@zeus.theochem.tuwien.ac.at/msg16786.html 
] is for a simplistic case.  Effective mass calculations can be 
substantially more complex [

https://nanohub.org/groups/ece656_f13/File:Notes_on_Effective_Masses.pdf 
] where in a 3D structure there is the effective mass tensor [
