Relation between spin dephasing time T2* and spin relaxation time

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on the relationship between spin dephasing time (T2*) and spin relaxation time (T2) for electrons. It highlights that T2* cannot exceed T2 and is influenced by decoherence within an ensemble. The electron spin g-factor (g_e) is identified as a key parameter related to spatial field homogeneity. A derivation of the equation linking T2* and T2 is suggested to be found in quantum mechanics textbooks, specifically recommending Cohen-Tannoudji. Overall, understanding these relationships is crucial for studying electron behavior in magnetic fields.

Homework Statement: spin dephasing time
Homework Equations: spin relaxation time

Hello, i have seen the next equation that relates the spin dephasing time of an ensemble of électrons T2* with the spin relaxation of a single electron T2, and I would like to know how it was deduced/proposed:

Thank you in advance

It would be helpful if you included more information from your text, particularly what g_e is. I'm guessing that it's some type of coherence parameter. The "dephasing time" cannot be longer than the electron's relaxation time, and is shortened by decoherence of the ensemble. I imagine that g_e is related to the spatial field homogeneity.

It is the electron spin g-factor.

@rafaelg7: The equation comes from the precession of an electron in a magnetic field. You will find a derivation in most QM textbooks (as often, I recommend Cohen-Tannoudji for this). You can also look up

Thread 'Question about pressure of a liquid'

I am looking at pressure in liquids and I am testing my idea. The vertical tube is 100m, the contraption is filled with water. The vertical tube is very thin(maybe 1mm^2 cross section). The area of the base is ~100m^2. Will he top half be launched in the air if suddenly it cracked?- assuming its light enough. I want to test my idea that if I had a thin long ruber tube that I lifted up, then the pressure at "red lines" will be high and that the $force = pressure * area$ would be massive...

Thread 'Why is the 3 body problem unsolvable? And what will happen if someone solves it?'

I feel it should be solvable we just need to find a perfect pattern, and there will be a general pattern since the forces acting are based on a single function, so..... you can't actually say it is unsolvable right? Cause imaging 3 bodies actually existed somwhere in this universe then nature isn't gonna wait till we predict it! And yea I have checked in many places that tiny changes cause large changes so it becomes chaos........ but still I just can't accept that it is impossible to solve...
