<p>In <a href="page.php?w=solid_state_physics">solid state physics</a>, a particle's <b>effective mass</b> (often denoted ) is the <a href="page.php?w=mass">mass</a> that it seems to have when responding to forces, or the mass that it seems to have when interacting with other identical particles in a <a href="page.php?w=Maxwell-Boltzmann_distribution">thermal distribution</a>. One of the results from the <a href="page.php?w=band_theory">band theory</a> of solids is that the movement of particles in a periodic potential, over long distances larger</p><p>
