Abstract
A discussion is given of the line width of CEF excitations in Rare-Earth (RE)-systems due to electrons and phonons. The temperature and wave-number dependence of the line width is discussed for both cases. A connection is established to calculations of the line width resulting from the interaction of magnetic excitations.
This work has partly performed within the programme “Sonderforschungsbereich 65, Festkörperspektroskopie Darmstadt — Frankfurt”.
