Resonances in the magnetic decoupling curves for the spin relaxation of dense alkali-metal vapors prove that much of the relaxation is due to the spin-axis interaction in triplet dimers. Initial estimates of the spin-axis coupling…

We report a combined experimental and theoretical study of collision-induced dipolar relaxation in a cold spin-polarized gas of atomic nitrogen (N). We use buffer gas cooling to create trapped samples of 14N and 15N atoms with densities…

The D'yakonov-Perel' spin relaxation induced by the spin-orbit interaction is examined in disordered two-dimensional electron gas. It is shown that, because of the electron-electron interactions different spin relaxation rates can be…

Spin relaxation in a strong-coupling regime (with respect to the spin system) is investigated in detail based on the spin-boson model in a stochastic limit. We find a bifurcation phenomenon in temperature dependence of relaxation constants,…

We calculate spin relaxation rates in lateral quantum dot systems due to electron exchange between dots and leads. Using rate equations, we develop a theoretical description of the experimentally observed electric current in the spin…

Spin relaxation due to atom-atom collisions is measured for magnetically trapped erbium and thulium atoms at a temperature near 500 mK. The rate constants for Er-Er and Tm-Tm collisions are 3.0 times 10^-10 cm^3 s^-1 and 1.1 times 10^-10…

We derive scaling laws for the spin decoherence of neutral atoms trapped near conducting and superconducting plane surfaces. A new result for thin films sheds light on the measurement of Y.J. Lin, I. Teper, C. Chin, and V. Vuleti\'{c}…

Spin-exchange collisions in alkali or alkali/noble gas vapors are at the basis of quantum sensing, nucleon structure studies, tests of fundamental symmetries, and medical imaging. We here show that spin-exchange collisions in hot alkali…

We explore the quantum dynamics of nuclear spin relaxation in cold collisions of $^1\Sigma^+$ molecules with structureless atoms in an external magnetic field. To this end, we develop a rigorous coupled-channel methodology, which accounts…

Interactions of electron spins with rotational degrees of freedom during collisions or with external fields are fundamental processes that limit the coherence time of spin gases. We experimentally study the decoherence of hot cesium spins…

Dipolar relaxation happens when one or both colliding atoms flip their spins exothermically inside a magnetic ($B$) field. This work reports precise measurements of dipolar relaxation in a Bose-Einstein condensate of ground state $^{87}$Rb…

We study spin relaxation in a two-electron quantum dot in the vicinity of the singlet-triplet crossing. The spin relaxation occurs due to a combined effect of the spin-orbit, Zeeman, and electron-phonon interactions. The singlet-triplet…

Spin-exchange collisions in alkali vapors have been at the basis of several fundamental and applied investigations, like nuclear structure studies and tests of fundamental symmetries, ultra-sensitive atomic magnetometers, magnetic resonance…

We report an experimental and theoretical study of spin noise correlations in a $^{87}$Rb-$^{133}$Cs unpolarized alkali-metal vapor dominated by spin-exchange collisions. We observe strong unequal-time inter-species correlations and account…

Relaxation of the Larmor magnetic moment by spin-exchange collisions has been shown to diminish for high alkali densities, resulting from the linear part of the collisional interaction. In contrast, we demonstrate both experimentally and…

The prospects of sympathetic cooling of polar molecules with magnetically co-trapped alkali-metal atoms are generally considered poor due to strongly anisotropic atom-molecule interactions leading to large spin relaxation rates. Using…

We study theoretically spin relaxation during phonon-assisted tunneling of a single electron in self-assembled InAs/GaAs quantum-dot molecules formed by vertically stacked dots. We find that the spin-flip tunneling rate may be as high as 1%…

Highly accurate numerical results of phonon-induced two-electron spin relaxation in silicon double quantum dots are presented. The relaxation, enabled by spin-orbit coupling and the nuclei of $^{29}$Si (natural or purified abundance), are…

We calculate the dephasing rate of the electrons in the presence of interactions and elastic spin disorder scattering. In the frame of a self-consistent diagrammatic treatment, we obtain saturation of the dephasing rate in the limit of zero…

We calculate electron and nuclear spin relaxation rates in a quantum dot due to the combined action of Nyquist noise and electron-nuclei hyperfine or spin-orbit interactions. The relaxation rate is linear in the resistance of the gate…
