The colour centres S-3(-) in ultramarine blue have been studied by EPR. Mea
surements of the temperature dependence of the linewidth have shown that th
e linewidth can be approximated by the formula: Delta B-pp = a + bT(7) whic
h according to the Kronig's theory is describing the two-phonon Raman proce
ss of the transfer of energy to the vibrations of the lattice. Copyright (C
