TLDR
In this article, an account is given of the various processes of electron spin relaxation concerned in establishing thermal equilibrium in dielectric crystals containing paramagnetic ions of the transition elements, and some consideration of the possible role of impurities in those cases where the observed relaxation has had no ready explanation in terms of accepted mechanisms.
Abstract
An account is given of the various processes of electron spin relaxation concerned in establishing thermal equilibrium in dielectric crystals containing paramagnetic ions of the transition elements. The discussion is illustrated by reference to the experimental results, and includes some consideration of the possible role of impurities in those cases where the observed relaxation has had no ready explanation in terms of accepted mechanisms.

First-Principles Investigation of Spin–Phonon Coupling in Vanadium-Based Molecular Spin Quantum Bits

TL;DR: This comparative study provides the first insight into the role played by coordination geometry and ligand-field strength in determining the spin-lattice relaxation time of molecular qubits, opening an avenue to the rational design of new compounds.

Experiments and theory of the nonexponential relaxation in liquids, glasses, polymers and crystals

TL;DR: In this paper, nonresonant spectral hole burning (NSHB) is used to investigate the constituents in the net spectrum of response, and the response is shown to exhibit intrinsic nonexponential behavior.

Stability of Polyatomic Molecules in Degenerate Electronic States. I. Orbital Degeneracy

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that if the total electronic state of orbital and spin motion is degenerate, then a non-linear configuration of the molecule will be unstable unless the degeneracy is the special twofold one (discussed by Kramers 1930) which can occur only when the molecule contains an odd number of electrons.

Anomalous Paramagnetism of Copper Acetate

TL;DR: In this article, the paramagnetic resonance spectrum of copper acetate is anomalous in that it resembles that of an ion of spin 1, and its intensity decreases as the temperature is lowered.
