A massless-cone description permits a nonzero cyclotron effective mass. For a circular constant-energy contour of area , the semiclassical definition givesThe 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.
