Relaxation of conduction electron spins in a semiconductor owing to the hyperfine interaction with spin-1/2 nuclei, in zero applied magnetic field, is investigated. We calculate the electron spin relaxation time scales, in order to evaluate the importance of this relaxation mechanism. Master equations for the electron spin density matrix are derived and solved. Polarized nuclear spins can be used to polarize the electrons in spintronic devices.
