For electron with large kinetic energy, one needs to introduce Dirac equation for relativistic correction. In what type of systems these relativistic effects is non-negligible?

    $\begingroup$ The answer depends on the property you want to calculate. For example, if you study spin-orbit coupling, you have to somehow deal with relativistic effects. Also note, that there are many kinds of corrections to treat relativistic effects. $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ I would be appreciated if you could recommend me some literature on the topic of spin-orbit coupling. $\endgroup$
