45. It is noted that the trigonal warping term (i.e., spinless cubic term) is neglected since its contribution to the energy of the conduction band is marginal

47. Note that the scatterings in Ref. [41] are in the bulk system, and one has to transform them to the two-dimensional case. In addition, one also has to transform these scatterings from a single valley to two valleys; see Ref. [39]

57. It is noted that we neglect the cubic term of the SOC since its contribution to the intravalley spin relaxation is marginal when only the electron-electron Coulomb scattering is included.
