Inspired by recent experiments showing a minimum of electron spin or paramagnetic resonance (ESR and EPR) line width as a function of inverse temperature, we studied the motional narrowing effect by considering a combined model of carrier transitions and static dispersion of the angular frequency giving rise to an inhomogeneous broadening in the spectrum. The dispersion of the angular frequency results from the distribution of the local field. The transition between the sites under inhomogeneous static local field induces adiabatic relaxation of the spin. We also considered the on-site inherent (nonadiabatic) relaxation of the spin. We obtained the exact solution of the spin correlation function by explicitly considering transitions between two sites for both Markovian and non-Markovian transition processes. The absorption line shape is expressed in terms of the Voigt function, which is a convolution of a Gaussian function and a Lorentzian function. Using the known properties of the Voigt function, we discuss the correlation between the change in the full-width at half-maximum and the change in line shape, both of which are induced by motional narrowing. By assuming thermal activation processes for both the hopping transition and the on-site inherent relaxation, we show that the minimum of the width appears as a function of inverse temperature as observed experimentally in organic materials. Contrary to the general belief, we also show that the narrowing of the Gaussian line shape under a local random field did not necessarily lead to a Lorentzian line shape in particular under the presence of heavy tail property in the waiting time distribution of hopping transitions.
