\subsection{Varying the Polarization Time}  We first measured the Larmor frequency, as described in the Methods, and found a value of $1.852\pm0.018~kHz$. According to \textbf{find website}, Equation~\ref{eq:precession},  a magnetic field of \textbf{insert value} $43.5 \mu T$  corresponds to a precession frequency equal to 1852Hz. 1852Hz, which is within agreement of our measured field of $43.3\pm 0.3 \m T$.  We expect magnetization, indicated by an amplitude expressed as a voltage on the oscilloscope, \textbf{<- clarify/delete?}, to change exponentially with changing polarization time according to Eq.~\ref{eq:growthrate} \cite{TeachSpin}. By plotting data for three different times after the polarization field was no longer applied, as shown in Fig.~\ref{fig:measurepolarizationtime}, we could fit the data to Eq.~\ref{eq:growthrate} and obtain values for the spin-lattice relaxation time ${T_1}$, which should be the same for our three different curves. We found ${T_1}=2.15\pm0.05 s$. \subsection{Varying the Current}
