50. A particle with with positive charge q=|e| > 0 canformally be viewed as a hole in a semiconductor quantum well. Note, however, that the spin-orbit interaction for holes in the valence band of most semiconductor materials is more complicated than for electrons in the conduction band whose effective spin-orbit interaction is described by Eq. (3). For a more complete theory of spin-orbit coupling in semiconductors including holes see, e. g., Refs. 5 and 6. In the present work, however, we shall concentrate on effective Hamiltonians (3) and discuss both cases given by the sign of the product gq of effective g factor g and charge q, since for conduction-band electrons g can take both signs Refs. 43-45.
