$1Daddefmas   is the function to add additional effective mass information for electron and holes. In some cases, the electron's (holes) effective mass in different directions are different. Hence the new functions is to put additional information for the program to calculate.

I_effective_type is the input type. The default should be 1. The typical semiconductor material has heavy hole, light hole, and electron effective mass of direct band. The type 1 is used. 
For I_effective_type= 1,  m_{hh,z} ~~ m_{hh,x}~~ m_{hh,y}~~m_{lh,z} ~~ m_{lh,x}~~ m_{lh,y} ~~m_{e,z} ~~ m_{e,x}~~ m_{hh,y}~~ N_{valley}..
For I_effective_type= 2,  m_{hh,z} ~~ m_{hh,x}~~ m_{hh,y}~~m_{lh,z} ~~ m_{lh,x}~~ m_{lh,y} ~~m_{e,z} ~~ m_{e,x}~~ m_{hh,y}~~ N_{valley}~~m_{e,z,2nd valley} ~~ m_{e,x,2nd valley}~~ m_{hh,y,2nd valley}~~ N_{valley}..
z is the calculation direction of 1D program. If there is a QW, z is the confined direction in the 1D program. N_{valley} is the valley number of electrons

For example, for a material like GaN effective mass for HH is 1.8, LH=0.17, and the electron is 0.21 in the growth direction and 0.2 in the x,y direction. We set

 1.8 1.8 1.8 0.17 0.17 0.17 0.21 0.2 0.2
 1.8 1.8 1.8 0.17 0.17 0.17 0.21 0.2 0.2
 1.8 1.8 1.8 0.17 0.17 0.17 0.21 0.2 0.2 
 .... to N layers

For example, for a material effective mass for HH_growth direction is 1.4 in the other two directions are 0.7 and 0.9, LH=0.17, and electron is 0.21 in the growth direction and 0.2 in the x,y direction, we set

 1.4 0.7 0.9 0.17 0.17 0.17 0.21 0.2 0.2
 1.4 0.7 0.9 0.17 0.17 0.17 0.21 0.2 0.2
 1.4 0.7 0.9 0.17 0.17 0.17 0.21 0.2 0.2 
 .... to N layers

Actually, the simulation program, it mainly uses the density of state effective mass. The different direction's effective mass will be put together as

For conduction band:
  m_{dos}^{*} = (N_{valley})^{2/3} ( m_x m_y m_z)^{1/3} 
For the valence band 
   m_{HH, dos}^{*} = ( m_{hh,x} m_{hh,y} m_{hh,z})^{1/3}  
   m_{LH, dos}^{*} = ( m_{lh,x} m_{lh,y} m_{lh,z})^{1/3}  
   m_{p, dos}^{*} = ( m_{hh,dos}^{3/2}+ m_{hh,dos}^{3/2} ) ^{2/3} 

For the Schrodinger solver, it will use m_z to calculate the quantum confinement effects. The equation will solve

 {- \nabla \frac{1}{m_{z}} \nabla + V } \psi = E \psi 

The for the n2d calculation, the density of state effective mass in the 2D structures is
