title: Spin relaxation and linear-in-electric-field frequency shift in an arbitrary, time-independent magnetic field.
abstract: A method is presented to calculate the spin relaxation times T(1), T(2) due to a non-uniform magnetic field, and the linear-in-electric-field precession frequency shift δω(E) when an electric field is present, in the diffusion approximation for spins confined to a rectangular cell. It is found that the rectangular cell geometry admits of a general result for T(1), T(2), and δω(E) in terms of the spatial cosine-transform components of the magnetic field. The result is applied to the case of a permanently-magnetized dipole impurity near the cell.
