Abstract
In this chapter we shall consider examples from three areas; firstly isolated 3-d transition metal ions which show localised Jahn-Teller (JT) effects; secondly, rare-earth crystals showing simple cooperative Jahn-Teller (CJT) phase transitions; and finally, examples of more complicated cooperative effects. For each of these systems the low lying electronic and vibrational excitations interact strongly and the coupled modes are of fundamental importance. They can be investigated directly by infra-red absorption and by scattering of light or neutrons and indirectly as splittings in optical absorption and fluorescence spectra. We shall describe results of optical experiments.
