In comparison, in the superparamagnetic regime, 𝑥=0.175 and 𝑥=0.21, a single relaxation time at elevated temperatures is observed. For all samples studied, the spin relaxation exhibits a momentum dependence consistent with a power law, providing evidence of a dispersive character of the spin relaxation.},
