Summary
Within the framework of a vibrational interpretation of the low-temperature anomalies in glasses, it is shown that the Zeeman transitions in quadrupole-perturbed spin systems occur more through direct rather than Raman processes. Our model provides qualitative agreement with published nuclear spin-lattice relaxation and specific-heat data in dielectric glasses.
