## Abstract We have developed a firstβprinciple method of calculating the spinβlattice relaxation time of excited electrons in metals based on the GW approach incorporating spinβorbit coupling. We have studied the spinβlattice relaxation time and path in Al, Cu, Au, Nb and Ta. The spinβlattice rela
