Abstract

A resolution to the order k6 of the three-level equation of Kane allows the authors to obtain a new expression for the conduction band energy and so new analytical expressions for the electron effective masses in the range of carrier concentration 1016-1019 cm-3. The calculated values of the conduction effective mass as a function of carrier density agree well, for the first time, with experimental values, which were obtained from Shubnikov-de Haas experiments by using a new expression for the oscillation amplitude. In this expression the authors take into account the effect of medium-range potential fluctuations induced by crystal inhomogeneities.
