Abstract
Spin-orbit (SO) interaction of electrons confined near a curved semiconductor surface is studied. The curvature of the surface determines an interesting mechanism of SO interaction which complements the known mechanisms occurring in planar systems. The specific cases of nanosphere and nanotube are considered and the electron spin-split spectra in these systems are found.
