spin relaxation of conduction electrons in which each momentum scattering event carries a small chance of a spin flip through spin-orbit mixing.

In condensed matter physics, Elliott-Yafet mechanism refers to spin relaxation of conduction electrons in which each momentum scattering event carries a small chance of a spin flip through spin-orbit mixing. This meaning comes from Elliott (1954) in Physical Review.[1]
