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

Semiconducting and other major properties of gallium arsenide
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provide numerical and graphical information about many physical and electronic properties of GaAs that are useful to those engaged in experimental research and development on this material, including properties of the material itself, and the host of effects associated with the presence of specific impurities and defects is excluded from coverage.

Symmetry Properties of the Energy Bands of the Zinc Blende Structure
TL;DR: In this paper, the symmetry properties of the one-electron energy bands of a crystal of the zinc blende structure were studied by means of group theory, both with and without the inclusion of spin-orbit coupling.
