Abstract
Spectral lineshapes of impurities in condensed phases provide useful information about structure and dynamics. Understanding the origin of line broadening may facilitate the design of novel experimental techniques that could have useful technological applications. In this talk I will outline our recent theoretical work on inhomogeneous lineshapes of impurities in crystals and glasses, and on the crossover from inhomogeneous to homogeneous broadening in liquids.
