The generalized cumulant expansion method of Kubo is applied to an analysis of spin‐relaxation theory appropriate for NMR and ESR studies of molecular systems. It leads to a general, formal solution of the equation of motion of a suitably averaged magnetization operator (and also the spin‐density matrix). This solution permits a convenient perturbation expansion in the region of motional narrowing; i.e., when the random functional spin perturbation H1(t) obeys | H1(t) |τc<1, where τc is a correlation time for the random process. It is shown how this expansion valid for times t≫τc generates the time‐independent R or relaxation matrix to all orders in | 1(t) |τc, and detailed expressions are given through fourth order. While the R matrix supplies the linewidth and dynamic frequency shift of the main Lorentzian resonance line, it is found that by formulating the cumulant method without the restriction t≫τc, weak subsidiary Lorentzian lines are predicted. These subsidiary lines appear as second‐order perturba...
