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

Dependence of the band structure of Bi(111) bilayers on lattice constant and spin-orbit splitting induced by a H monolayer
TL;DR: In this paper, the band structure of free Bi(111) films is studied by means of full-relativistic density functional theory calculations, and it is suggested that the metallicity of Bi slabs stems from the interaction between Bi bilayers but not from surface states.

Optical and material properties of colloidal semiconductor nanocrystals
TL;DR: In this paper, the photophysics of colloidal semiconductor nanocrystals using both linear and non-linear optical measurement techniques is explored. And the identification and characterization of bulk-like colloidal nanoparticles with a non-standard absorption profile is discussed.

Effect of Time-Reversal Symmetry on Energy Bands of Crystals
TL;DR: In this paper, a criterion is developed to facilitate calculation of when and how such additional degeneracy will occur, and the consequences of the reality of the Hamiltonian are tabulated for a number of cases.
