contents We present an \textit{ab initio} method of diffusion, relaxation and dephasing processes of arbitrary observables, and corresponding diffusion lengths and lifetimes in solids. The method is based on linearized density-matrix master equation, with quantum treatment of electron scattering processes. It enables clear \textit{ab initio} descriptions of long lifetimes and diffusion lengths using approximate formulas at different levels, such as Dyakonov-Perel and drift-diffusion relations for spin decay and those beyond with coupled dynamics. Our results of graphene-hBN show that the coupling between dynamical processes can significantly affect spin diffusion and relaxation. Our method provides a transparent and powerful tool for predicting and understanding diffusion and relaxation.
