Measurements of the conduction electron spin resonance linewidths and relaxation times of magnesium are presented as a function of temperature and at a frequency of 9.27 GHz. The samples all had dimensions which were large in comparison with the skin depth and a temperature range of 80 to 600 °K was covered. The results are interpreted in terms of a temperature‐dependent intrinsic relaxation mechanism, a temperature‐dependent surface relaxation mechanism and a temperature‐independent impurity one.
