In this article, a character table for the group of the wave vector at certain points of symmetry in the Brillouin zone is given, and a possible reason for the complications which may make a simple effective mass concept invalid for some crystals of this type structure is presented.
Abstract
Character tables for the "group of the wave vector" at certain points of symmetry in the Brillouin zone are given. The additional degeneracies due to time reversal symmetry are indicated. The form of energy vs wave vector at these points of symmetry is derived. A possible reason for the complications which may make a simple effective mass concept invalid for some crystals of this type structure will be presented.

Effect of curvature of a 2D electron sheet on the ballistic conductance and spin-orbit interaction

TL;DR: In this paper, the curvature of a cylindrical surface is considered and the spatial inhomogeneity of the normal component of the magnetic field smears the steps in the dependence of the conductance on Fermi energy and spin-orbit interaction in a curved space changes qualitatively due to lifting up the degeneracy with respect to the sign of spinorbit constants.
