The Bloembergen-Morgan equations, Eqs. (14) and (15), predict that the electron spin relaxation rates should disperse at around msTy = 1. This will make the correlation times for the dipolar and scalar interaction, %ci and respectively, in Eq. (11) dependent on the magnetic field. A combination of the modified Solomon-Bloembergen equations (12) and (13), for nuclear relaxation rates with the Bloembergen-Morgan equations for the field dependence... 

Recapitulating, the SBM theory is based on two fundamental assumptions. The first one is that the electron relaxation (which is a motion in the electron spin space) is uncorrelated with molecular reorientation (which is a spatial motion infiuencing the dipole coupling). The second assumption is that the electron spin system is dominated hy the electronic Zeeman interaction. Other interactions lead to relaxation, which can be described in terms of the longitudinal and transverse relaxation times Tie and T g. This point will be elaborated on later. In this sense, one can call the modified Solomon Bloembergen equations a Zeeman-limit theory. The validity of both the above assumptions is questionable in many cases of practical importance. 

Besides these two main assumptions, the modified Solomon-Bloembergen equations, Eqs. (12) and (13), contain several additional approximations, the most important of which are the following ... 

The combination of the modified Solomon-Bloembergen Eqs. (7-11) with the equations for electron spin relaxation (14-16) constitutes a complete theory to relate the observed paramagnetic relaxation rate enhancement to the microscopic properties, and it is generally referred as to Solomon-Bloembergen-Mor-gan (SBM) theory. Detailed discussions of the relaxation theory have been published [13,14].
