TLDR
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.read more

Effective mass approximation for excitons
TL;DR: In this article, the effective mass approximation for degenerate electronic energy bands is applied to the interaction of electrons and holes in an insulator, and it is shown that bound exciton states result from this treatment.
