A massless-cone description permits a nonzero cyclotron effective mass. For a circular constant-energy contour of area S(E)=πE2/(ℏvF​)2, the semiclassical definition gives
mc​=2πℏ2​​dEdS​​=vF2​∣EF​∣​=vF​ℏπ∣n∣​​.

The vanishing mass parameter in a Dirac Hamiltonian and the finite cyclotron response away from neutrality are different statements. This makes the temperature dependence of Shubnikov-de Haas oscillations a useful test of the dispersion rather than a measurement of an Electron's vacuum rest mass.
