In this review, we give an overview of the properties and applications of samarium
monosulfide, SmS, which has gained considerable interest as a switchable material. It …

Coordination networks based on lanthanide ions entangle collective magnetic phenomena,
otherwise only observed in inorganic 4f materials, and the tunable spatial and electronic …

The inimitable electronic structures of the lanthanide (Ln) ions are key to advanced materials
and technologies involving these elements. The trivalent ions are ubiquitous and are used …

The recent development of x-ray free electron lasers providing coherent, femtosecond-long
pulses of high brilliance and variable energy opens new areas of scientific research in a …

In intermediate valence compounds, the subtle quantum equilibrium of two microscopic
configurations is at the origin of a very rich physics. SmB 6 is a famous example as it …

We applied the Bayesian framework to the analysis of nuclear spin–lattice relaxation curves.
In the simplest case, nuclear spin–lattice relaxation is described by a single exponential …

The intermediate valence systems TmSe and SmB 6 have been investigated up to 16 and
18 GPa by ac microcalorimetry with a pressure (p) tuning realized in situ at low temperature …

SmO (001) epitaxial thin films were grown on YAl O 3 (110) substrates by pulsed laser
deposition method. X-ray photoemission spectroscopy indicated coexistence of S m 2+ and …

accepted April 5, 2007; published May 25, 2007) We have grown single crystals of SmS and
investigated effects of nominal composition on the electrical resistivity, optical reflectivity …

Strongly-correlated electron states emerging in cubic Sm-based compounds, eg, SmOs 4 Sb
12 and Sm Tr 2 Al 20 (Tr: transition metal elements), have anomalous characteristics, like …
