THE INTERACTION OF PARAMAGNETIC IONS WITH LATTICE VIBRATIONS. Technical Report No. AF-93

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4761971
The theory of the interaction of a paramagnetic ion with the lattice vibrations in an ionic crystal is investigated. A generalization of the Van Vleck approach to spin-lattice relaxation is developed that allows the determination of the effective vibrating crystal field in a semi-empirical manner. The theory of relaxation effects in excited states of ionic crystals is presented in some detail. In addition to the conventional single phonon relaxation process, the theory of multi-phonon emission is developed as a tentative explanaPLEASE DELETE ABSTRACT 12223.
