The conductivity effective masses of electrons and holes in Si are calculated for carrier
temperatures from 1 to 3000 K. The temperature dependence of the electron mass is
calculated by use of a phenomenological model of conduction-band nonparabolicity that
has been fitted to experimental measurements of the dependence of the electron
conductivity effective mass on carrier concentration. The hole mass is investigated by tight-

The conductivity effective masses of electrons and holes in Si are calculated for carrier temperatures from 1 to 3000 K. The temperature dependence of the electron mass is calculated by use of a phenomenological model of conduction-band nonparabolicity that has been fitted to experimental measurements of the dependence of the electron conductivity effective mass on carrier concentration. The hole mass is investigated by tight-binding calculations of the valence bands, which have been adjusted to match experimental values of the valence-band curvature parameters at the top of the valence band. The calculations are in excellent agreement with femtosecond-laser reflectivity measurements of the change in optical effective mass as hot carriers cool from 1550 to 300 K.
