EN

The uniaxial anisotropy of magnetic properties of SrLa_{1-x}Nd_{x}AlO_{4} single crystals (x = 0.01 and 0.05) was found from the measurements of temperature dependencies of magnetic susceptibility. Results of measurements, with magnetic field along a- and c-axis, are compared with the similar data obtained for CaNdAlO_{4} crystal. The successful description of experimental data was done in frames of the crystal field approximation. The anisotropy of magnetic susceptibility appears due to crystal field acting on magnetic neodymium ions in a system without exchange interactions.
