Abstract

We have measured the temperature dependence of the homogeneous width of spectral holes in the incommensurate phase III of chlorin-doped biphenyl from 60 mK to 10 K. Below 2 K a power law (∼ Tα, α = 1.36, 1.74 for different spectral peaks) prevails. Above 2 K a strong coupling to low-energy (5 and 9 cm-1) vibrational modes dominates. No indication of a low-temperature lock-in transition was found.
