    8. Electron in a 3D periodic potential

    13. Expansion of E(kx,ky,kz) near a minimum value E0= E(kx0,ky0,kz0)

    14. Expansion of E(kx,ky,kz) near a minimum value E0= E(kx0,ky0,kz0)

    16. In the coordinate system in which the effective mass tensor is diagonal

    17. Acceleration due to an electric filed (F)

    18. Effective mass tensor valid near E(k) minima and maxima only

    19. Constant energy surfaces in crystal momentum space cookies

    21. Constant energy surfaces near a minimum are ellipsoids
