Abstract
Resonance interference between the E2(17 cm-1) optical mode and the continuum of one-phonon density of state has been observed in β-AgI. From a fitting of the E2 optical mode shape with a "Fano" formula we have obtained the temperature behaviour of the coupling parameter q and the true half-width which show substantial change near the β→α transition temperature.
