41. In Winkler's notation (Ref.) these are the terms proportional to C, B7v, and B 8v ±. These terms will not lead to considerable corrections for our purposes. However, the terms C k± could become relevant when considering higher-order effects in the spin-orbit interaction, such as the cubic Dresselhaus terms which were derived in Ref..
