Abstract
Dynamical structure factors of the S=1 bond-alternating spin chains in the dimer phase are calculated at finite temperature, using the pair dynamical correlated-effective-field approximation. At T=0, the delta-function-type peak of the one-magnon mode appears. When temperature is increased, such a sharp peak is broadened and the additional weak peak caused by the excitation from the triplet state to the quintet state emerges in the higher energy region. The results are discussed in comparison with those obtained by the exact diagonalization method.
