a–d the pristine system, e–h the VI system and i–l the VCr system. a, e, i Schematics of multielectron spin relaxation pathways with spin conversation. b, f, j Schematics of multielectron spin relaxation pathways with spin flip. The blue dashed arrow represents the path of decreasing magnetic moment, while the orange dashed arrow represents the path of increasing magnetic moment. c, g, k Evolution of electron flux of the up-VB reservoir. d, h, l Evolution of electron flux of the dn-VB reservoir, also detailing both inflow and outflow pathways. Processes ① to ⑦ correspond to specific spin relaxation pathways: process ①, up-CB to up-VB; process ②, up-CB to dn-VB; process ③, up-VB to dn-VB; process ④, dn-VB to up-VB; process ⑤, up-CB to up-D; process ⑥, up-D to dn-VB; and process ⑦, up-D to up-VB. The entire relaxation electron flux data is shown in Supplementary Fig. S17.
