Abstract
Abstract The Kronig–Penney model is a model used to study properties of electrons confined in a periodic potential. It is a useful model since the electronic properties can be studied analytically with the aid of Bloch’s theorem. An important concept that emerges from the resultant electron band theory is the electron effective mass. Through the use of the Kronig–Penney model we use the so-called ‘effective mass theorem’, that allows us to ask and answer the question of how the electron effective mass depends on both the free electron mass and the characteristics of the periodic potential. We illustrate the crossover from the case of a weak periodic potential to a strong periodic potential using this theorem and explicit calculations with the Kronig–Penney model. The special case of the Dirac comb model is also treated in this work. Through the use of the ‘effective mass theorem’, we show, among other properties, that an electron–hole effective mass asymmetry is generally expected, even without considering contributions from electron–electron interactions.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
