Abstract

A simple analytic model is presented which illustrates the physics of the configurational phase transition occuring in SmS under pressure and in the SmS-YS and SmS-SmAs systems with chemical substitution. The model includes only the largest interactions and is intented to demonstrate the requirements for a configurational phase transition to a stable intermediate valent state.
