Abstract
Inelastic neutron scattering has been employed to search for the crystalline-electric-field (CEF) transitions in the infinite-layer (IL) Sr1-xNdxCuO2 compounds produced by high-pressure technique. For the first time we have been able to observe the complete energy spectrum of the ground state J-multiplet of Nd3+ in the IL phase and to determine the CEF parameters. Dependence of the CEF splitting on Nd doping is discussed.
