Crystal-field states of Pr3+ in the candidate quantum spin ice Pr2Sn2O7
Neutron time-of-flight spectroscopy has been employed to study the crystal-field splitting of Pr3+ in the pyrochlore stannate Pr 2Sn2O7. The crystal field has been parameterized from a profile fit to the observed neutron spectrum. The single-ion ground state is a well-isolated non-Kramers doublet of...
