Which outcome arises when the quasi-momentum vector matches a Brillouin zone boundary edge?

💡 Explanation

The effective mass becomes negative because electrons experience Bragg reflection at zone boundaries, undergoing `Umklapp scattering`. Therefore, the electron accelerates opposite the applied force, rather than exhibiting Drude conductivity under an electric field in open space.
