description

We have determined the crystal field splittings of Pr3+ in PrIn3, PrTl3, PrPb3, and PrSn3 by inelastic neutron scattering. The values of the deduced crystal field parameters are found to depend strongly on the constituent X, though all systems have nonmagnetic ground-states. The line widths in the different systems are compared.
