We present numerical results for electron spin relaxation rates for single and laterally coupled double GaAs quantum dots in a perpendicular magnetic field. As source of spin relaxation we consider hyperfine interaction with the nuclear spins in the GaAs substrate. Due to the differences in the energy scales of the nuclear and electronic Zeeman energies, the phonon bath system has to be taken into account for energy dissipation. The corresponding transition rates of second order show strong dependencies on correlations between the electrons and the electronic energy differences, and hence on the magnetic field. For a highly asymmetric double dot we have found a relatively low second order electron spin relaxation rate for a wide range of magnetic fields.
