Abstract
The ESR g shift and linewidth of Gd in the metallic Van-Vleck paramagnet, PrSb, exhibit appreciable change upon increasing the temperatures above T = 20 K. A model is suggested to explain the linewidth behavior. It is argued that while the g shift behavior is mainly associated with the admixture of the first excited crystalline field level, Γ4, into the singlet ground state Γ1, the relaxation is primarily via the Γ5 excited state of Pr3+.
