Quasinuclear systems, representing nuclei with variable size, are studied to investigate the occurrence of the spin-orbit term in the nuclear mean field in the transition from infinite nuclear matter to finite nuclei. Relativistic as well as nonrelativistic mean-field calculations based on models for the nucleon-nucleon (NN) interaction, which fit the NN scattering data, are considered. A very strong correlation between the strength of the spin-orbit term and radius of the nuclear system is observed. The origin of the spin-orbit term is analyzed by inspecting the contributions of the different partial waves and various mesons in a one-boson-exchange model of the NN interaction. Also results for a realistic interaction model based on chiral effective field theory including the contribution of three-nucleon interactions are discussed. The influence of correlation effects and the enhancement of the small component of Dirac spinors for nucleons in the nuclear medium are discussed.
