We find a bifurcation phenomenon in temperature dependence of relaxation constants, which is never observed in the weak-coupling regime. We also discuss inequalities among the relaxation constants in our model and show the well-known relation 2\\Gamma_T >= \\Gamma_L, for example, for a wider parameter region than before.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2001-10-26T09:55:22.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "spin relaxation", "bifurcation phenomenon", "relaxation constants", "wider parameter region", "temperature dependence" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Phys.
