18. In general, the position dependence of P leads to an extra contribution in Eq. which is proportional to d P /dz. This contribution is absent in the nonrelativistic limit of Dirac's theory, where P plays the role of m0 c (see Ref.), which is a position-independent quantity

23. Here Eherenfest's theorem applies and the contribution of the average (over the surface states) surface electrostatic field to the SIA SOC must be small.
