Inversion recovery with electron spin-echo detection has been used to study the electron spin-lattice relaxation rates 1/T1 for transition metal impurities in heavily cobalt-doped hydrothermally grown ZnO single crystals. The relaxation dynamics of Co2+ ions dominates the phonon bottleneck effect in the Orbach-Aminov process, which involves the modulation of the zero-field-splitting tensor. The relaxation mechanism may be treated in terms of phonon heating with fast rate of energy pump from Co2+ spins into the lattice phonon modes. The measurements reveal the cross-relaxation process in which the single Co2+ ions cross-relax to exchange-coupled clusters of cobalt ions.
