6. Note that a further source of SOI due to interface inversion asymmetry (Ref.) enters in the same form into the spin-orbit Hamiltonian as that of the k -linear BIA, and thus may change the magnitude of β only.

24. Earlier experiments (Ref.) with gate-tunable strength α showed only a transition from WL to WAL indicating merely the onset of SOI-induced spin relaxation with increasing α.
