Anomalous modes of electronic-spin relaxation of optically pumped Rb atoms observed in He and Ne buffer gases may result from the modification of the Rb hyperfine interaction, induced by the formation of Rb-He and Rb-Ne Van der Waals molecules. Isolation of anomalous effects also resolves disagreements in cross sections previously reported for the spin relaxation of Cs in Ne.
