the treatment of carriers near band extrema as particles with renormalized mass obeying a hydrogen-like envelope equation in slowly varying potentials.

In semiconductor physics, effective mass theory refers to the treatment of carriers near band extrema as particles with renormalized mass obeying a hydrogen-like envelope equation in slowly varying potentials. This meaning comes from Luttinger (1955) in Physical Review.[1]
