(Experimental.) For systems described in 2D (electrons confined to 2D in semiconductor structures), one
may add the Bychkov-Rashba spin-orbit coupling term [Bychkov and Rashba, J. Phys. C: Solid
State Phys.  17 , 6031 (1984)]. This variable determines the strength
of this perturbation, and has dimensions of energy times length.
