We present investigations on the electronic structure of the recently discovered, electron-doped infinite-layer compound Sr[sub 1[minus]x]Nd[sub x]CuO[sub 2[minus][delta]] (T[sub c] approximately 40 K) by means of photoelectron spectroscopy with synchrotron radiation. This system is compared with the two closely related cuprates Nd[sub 2[minus]x]Ce[sub x]CuO[sub 4[minus][delta]] (electron doped) and Nd[sub 1.4]Ce[sub 0.2]Sr[sub 0.4]CuO[sub 4[minus][delta]] (hole doped). Valence band spectra in the Cu 3p [yields] 3d resonance are interpreted in terms of CuO[sub 4] (n-doped compounds) and CuO[sub s] (p-doped system) cluster models. From our calculations we find a considerably higher Cu 3d Coulomb correlation for the electron-doped compounds as well as a very low Cu-O hybridization for the infinite-layer system. Partial Nd spectra of Sr[sub 0.85]Nd[sub 0.15]CuO[sub 2[minus][delta]] show the Nd dopants to be trivalent, thus confirming the infinite-layer compound to be electron doped. Analysis of partial Nd valence bands and magnetic susceptibilities of Nd[sub 2[minus]x]Ce[sub x]CuO[sub 4[minus][delta]] and Nd[sub 1.4]Ce[sub 0.2]Sr[sub 0.4]CuO[sub 4[minus][delta]] gives very similar electronic parameters and antiferromagnetic correlations between Nd spins for both cuprates. 6 refs., 2 figs.
