CHEMICAL VAPOR DEPOSITION OF SAMARIUM COMPOUNDS FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF THIN FILM OPTICAL SWITCHES BASED ON PHASE TRANSITION MATERIALS.
The physical properties of single crystals of samarium monosulfide exhibit a first order semiconductor-to-metal transition near 6.5 kbar. However, thin films of SmS show only a gradual change in their properties on applying pressure and this renders the technical utilization of the material difficul...
