Description
Raman measurements in a Pr2CuO4 single crystal show structures related to nine crystal-field (CF) excitations. They correspond to transitions within the 3H4, 3H5, and 3H6 multiplets of Pr3+ ions in C4v site symmetry. Satellites to these CF excitations are also observed and associated with the presence of an inequivalent Pr3+ site of lower symmetry. A set of CF parameters which describes the observed energy spectra is derived and compared to previous calculations. copyright 1997 The American Physical Society
