31. Usually flatter bands result in heavier effective masses, and therefore the transport is expected to degrade. In the context of conductance quantization in a one-dimensional system, however, the band shape does not have any influence upon the transport, owing to the cancellation of the electron velocity and the state density. For a full discussion, the contact to the electrodes has to be specified, which is beyond the scope of this article and left for a future study.
