+Remarks:
+\begin{itemize}
+ \item Operand for calculating the density of states using the
+       standard density of states expression near the band edge.
+ \item No such charge carriers which have the effective mass $m_p$
+       exist in silicon.
+       Concerning transport properties the effective masses have to be
+       treated separately.
