We report on the various contributions to the total spin-lattice relaxation rate in metallic materials with local tetragonal symmetry. The analytical formulae are given in the tight-binding approximation. The calculations show the relation between various partial electron densities of states and corresponding contributions to the relaxation rates. The presented formulae can be used to compare theoretically calculated electron band structure parameters with those obtained from NMR spin-lattice relaxation time measurements.
