We report a resonant inelastic x-ray scattering (RIXS) study of charge excitations in the electron-doped high-T(c) superconductor Nd1.85 Ce0.15 CuO4.

In the low-pressure region a first-order transition from a charge-uniform paramagnetic metallic phase to a charge-disproportionated (3Fe(11/3+)-->2Fe(3+)+Fe5+) antiferromagnetic insulating phase occurs at 207 K at 0.1 MPa and 165 K at 21 GPa, typically.
