Abstract：
The neutrinoless double-beta (0νββ) decay is a unique process used to identify the Majorana nature of massive neutrinos, and its rate depends on the size of the effective Majorana neutrino mass <m>_ee. We put forward a novel ‘coupling-rod’ diagram to describe <m>_ee in the complex plane, by which the effects of the neutrino mass ordering and CP-violating phases on <m>_ee are intuitively understood. We show that this geometric language allows us to easily obtain the maximum and minimum of |<m>_ee|. It remains usable even if there is a kind of new physics contributing to <m>_ee, and it can also be extended to describe the effective Majorana masses <m>_eμ, <m>_eτ, <m>_μμ, <m>_μτ and <m>_ττ which may appear in some other lepton-number violating processes.
