The effect of spin-orbit coupling on conduction electrons in metals
Spin-orbit coupling for conduction electrons in metals is studied by investigating g[sub c], an average of a spin-splitting factor for electronic states on extremal orbits of the Fermi surface. G[sub c] is found from an examination of the harmonic content of the de Haas-van Alphen oscillations...
