Abstract

The crystal electric field (CEF) levels of the Ce ions are investigated in the cubic phase of CeAg1-xInx for x=0.0, 0.05, 0.1, 0.2. The addition in In leaves the principle CEF level scheme ( Gamma 8 ground state, Gamma 7 first excited state) unchanged but causes a considerable broadening of the linewidth of the CEF transitions which is discussed in terms of a damping due to electron-hole excitations.
