Dynamics of degenerate local excitations in cubic metals
Maleev S. V.
The problem of an isolated ion with a total angular momentum / in a cubic metal is analyzed by the technique of Abrikosov pseudofermions. A system of generalized kinetic equations is constructed. The particular example /=5/2 is studied in the case in which the ground state is the quartet Г8 (CeB6). The central peak in the susceptibility can be described by a sum of two Lorentzians, one of which is narrower and higher than the other. This multimode behavior is shown to be a general phenomenon when a degenerate multiplet is not a doublet and does not constitute all the states of the system.
