Why is $F(t)=\hbar\frac{dk}{dt}$?
I know $F(t)=m\frac{dv(t)}{dt}=\frac{dp(t)}{dt}$.
However, the force on a electron can be written as $F(t)=\hbar\frac{dk}{dt}$. Why is that?
Isn't $k$ just a constant, $k=\frac{2\pi}{\lambda}$? I.e …

Different types of densities? Regular density vs free electron density?
I know the density $\rho$ is
$$
\rho=\frac{m}{V} \quad \bigg [\frac{\text{kg}}{\text{m}^3}\bigg ] \tag{1}
$$
But in solid-state physics an another type of density if the free electron density $n$

Units for effective mass [closed]
I having problem how to find the right unit for the effective mass $m^
*_e$ for a electron. The unit should be in $\rm [kg]$ and the formula is $$m^*_e=\frac{\hbar^2}{\frac{d^2E}{dk^2}} \rm [kg]$$
Th …
