The time dependence of the three components of the total magnetization for a [001] substrate with structural inversion asymmetry (SIA) effects only:

for bulk inversion asymmetry (BIA) and SIA when these effects have equal magnitude:

and for a [111] substrate with, BIA and SIA effects equal, where the spin lifetime of all three components is enhanced:
