In order to account for competition and interplay of localized and itinerant magnetic behaviour in correlated many body systems with complex spectra the various types of spin-fermion models have been considered in the context of the Irreducible Green’s Functions (IGF) approach. Examples are generalised d{f model and Kondo{Heisenberg model. The calculations of the quasiparticle excitation spectra with damping for these models has been performed in the framework of the equation-of-motion method for two-time temperature Green’s Functions within a non-perturbative approach. A unied scheme for the construction of Generalised Mean Fields (elastic scattering corrections) and self-energy (inelastic scattering) in terms of the Dyson equation has been generalised in order to include the presence of the two interacting subsystems of localised spins and itinerant electrons. A general procedure is given to obtain the quasiparticle damping in a self-consistent way. This approach gives the complete and compact description of quasiparticles and show the flexibility and richness of the generalised spin-fermion model concept. 1
