Non-resonant cross-relaxation and its occurrence in vanadium-doped rubies

Abstract
The general theory for the non-resonant reduction of the spin-lattice relaxation time T1m of the one ion by another is presented. Such 'cross-spin-lattice relaxation' can explain the measured reduction of T1m for Cr3+, in zero Zeeman field due to the presence of V3+. The temperature dependence of the measurements under such conditions involves the zero-field splitting of the V3+ ground states.
