Abstract This paper is devoted to spin‐orbit interactions between conduction and magnetic electrons. A model is proposed where the spin‐orbit mechanism arises from intra‐ionic spin‐orbit coupling due to hybridization of conduction and magnetic electron wave functions. The physical consequences of spin‐orbit interactions, e.g., the anomalous Hall effect, magnon amplification, and magnon drag, are discussed briefly.
