Inelastic Neutron Scattering Studies on the Crystal Field Excitations in Superconducting NdFeAsO0.85F0.15

Inelastic neutron scattering experiments were performed on polycrystalline samples of NdFeAsO0.85F0.15 over a wide temperature range (3 K–250 K). Based on the analysis of the experimental data, a Nd3+ CF energy level scheme is proposed to give a consistent explanation about the observed CF transitio...
