The Effect of Concentration Gradients of Impurities on the Temperature Dependence of the Spin—Lattice Relaxation Time in Lithium and Beryllium

TLDR
In this article, the conduction electron spin resonance linewidths for various samples of lithium and beryllium at frequencies of 9.27 GHz and 33 and 80 MHz were measured.
Abstract
Measurements are presented of the conduction electron spin resonance linewidths for various samples of lithium and beryllium at frequencies of 9.27 GHz and 33 and 80 MHz, the samples having dimensions which are large compared with the appropriate skin depth. An increase in the linewidths and certain line shape anomalies as measured at 9.27 GHz at low temperatures, are discussed in terms of relaxation in an impure surface layer. A value of χs = 1.6 × 10−7 c.g.s. units has been deduced for the spin susceptibility of beryllium.

Conduction Electron Spin Resonance in Magnesium

TL;DR: In this paper, the conduction electron spin resonance linewidths and relaxation times of magnesium were measured as a function of temperature and at a frequency of 9.27 GHz, and the results were interpreted in terms of a temperaturedependent intrinsic relaxation mechanism, a temperature-dependent surface relaxation mechanism and a temperature independent impurity one.

Electron Spin Resonance Absorption in Metals. II. Theory of Electron Diffusion and the Skin Effect

g Factors and Spin-Lattice Relaxation of Conduction Electrons

TL;DR: The use of spin resonance in semiconductors and semimetals grows as better materials are made and detailed knowledge about their band structure becomes available as discussed by the authors. But spin resonance does not play a useful supplementary role when something about the band structure is known, serving either as a check on the band model or determining the values of additional parameters.

Electron Spin Resonance Absorption in Metals. I. Experimental

TL;DR: In this paper, the electron spin resonance absorption in metals was investigated at 300 and 9000 Mc/sec, in the temperature range from 4\ifmmode^\circ\else\textdegree\fi{}K to 296\ifmode^''circ\circ''else''textdegree''fi{ }K, with too poor a signal-to-noise ratio to make accurate measurements.
