Kronig-Penny Model: Effective Mass
Here I go cover energy/momentum diagrams in more depth, and I explain how we can use them to determine how electrons and holes move in the semiconductor through the concept of effective mass.

This is part of my series on semiconductor physics (often called Electronics 1 at university). This is based on the book Semiconductor Physics and Devices by Donald Neamen, as well as the EECS 170A/174 courses taught at UC Irvine.
