Abstract

The electronic structure of Sm and Gd in Sm1−x GdxS has been experimentally studied by the x-ray shift method. Besides the well known strong increase of Sm valence at x≈0.15 (associated with the electronic transition to the mixed valence state), a decrease of Sm valence for x⩾0.9 has been observed for the first time. This phenomenon is explained as due to the 4f-5d hybridization on neighboring Sm atoms involved in the onset of the mixed valence state, and is interpreted as a manifestation of parity violation forbiddenness.
