We present a detailed theoretical and experimental NQR multiple-pulse spin-locking study of spin-lattice relaxation and spin diffusion processes in the presence of paramagnetic impurities in solids. The obtained diffusion equation was obtained allows to find the time dependence of the magnetization in the effective field. The spin lattice relaxation times were calculated, both for direct and di...

The temperature dependence of the electron-spin relaxation time in MgB2 is anomalous as it does not follow the resistivity above 150 K; it has a maximum around 400 K and decreases for higher temperatures. This violates the well established Elliot-Yafet theory of spin relaxation in metals. The anomaly occurs when the quasiparticle scattering rate (in energy units) is comparable to the energy dif...

In this work we applied a quantum circuit treatment to describe the nuclear spin relaxation. From the Redfield theory, we were able to describe the quadrupolar relaxation as a computational process in the case of spin 3/2 systems, through a model in which the environment is comprised by five qubits and three different quantum noise channels. The interaction between the environment and the spin ...

Spin relaxation time of conduction electrons through the Elliot-Yafet, D’yakonov-Perel and Bir-Aronov-Pikus mechanisms is calculated theoretically for bulk GaAs, GaSb, InAs and InSb of both nand p-type. Relative importance of each spin relaxation mechanism is compared and the diagrams showing the dominant mechanism are constructed as a function of temperature and impurity concentrations. Our ap...

Introduction: There is a great interest in increasing the longitudinal relaxation of nuclear spins for hyperpolarized imaging experiments. Longitudinal multispin orders (LOMO) correspond to the non-equilibrium population distribution and can be created in spin systems that exhibit J couplings, dipolar couplings or quadrupolar couplings (1). It can also be created via cross-correlated relaxation...

We present the formal theory of the nuclear magnetic relaxation of spin 1/2 A in a scalar coupled spin system AMX with quadrupolar nuclei of spin 1 (M, X) considering cross-correlation relaxation based on second order time-dependent perturbation theory and the product operator formalism. The expressions for longitudinal and transverse relaxation times and dynamic frequency shifts of each compon...

We have studied spin relaxation in the spin ice compound Dy2Ti2O7 through measurements of the ac magnetic susceptibility. While the characteristic spin-relaxation time (tau) is thermally activated at high temperatures, it becomes almost temperature independent below T(cross) approximately 13 K. This behavior, combined with nonmonotonic magnetic field dependence of tau, indicates that quantum tu...

Spin relaxation in graphene is investigated in electrical graphene spin valve devices in the nonlocal geometry. Ferromagnetic electrodes with in-plane magnetizations inject spins parallel to the graphene layer. They are subject to Hanle spin precession under a magnetic field B applied perpendicular to the graphene layer. Fields above 1.5 T force the magnetization direction of the ferromagnetic ...

We demonstrate that electron spin relaxation in GaAs in the proximity of a Fe/MgO layer is dominated by interaction with an exchange-driven hyperfine field at temperatures below 60 K. Temperature-dependent spin-resolved optical pump-probe spectroscopy reveals a strong correlation of the electron spin relaxation with carrier freeze-out, in quantitative agreement with a theoretical interpretation...

The diffusion in the magnetic dipolar field around a sphere is considered. The diffusion is restricted to the space between two concentric spheres, where the inner sphere is the source of the magnetic dipolar field. Analytical expressions for the CPMG transverse relaxation rate as well as the free induction decay and the spin echo time evolution are given in the Gaussian approximation. The infl...
