Abstract
Point-contact (PC) measurements in the compound PrCu have been performed in order to obtain information on the crystalline electric field (CEF) excita tions. The observed spectra are characterized by two main contributions: a broad peak at approximate to 5 meV which is connected with a CEF transition and a broad structure above 10 meV which is connected with phonon excitati ons.
