The intervalley f-processes are responsible for spin relaxation in bulk silicon which involves the primed subbands [53]. The spin relaxation rate is calculated by [69]

The +(-) sign refers to phonon emission (absorption). The relaxation rate for the transition between primed and unprimed subbands is given by [69]

Figure 4.28 describes the total spin lifetime
Figure 4.29 describes the variation of the total spin lifetime
Thus, one can conclude in the following way.
