Description

X-ray absorption spectrum of the Sm L/sub III/ edge has been measured in mixed-valence Sm/sub 0.75/Y/sub 0.25/S. From analysis of the edge structure and extended x-ray absorption fine structure, the valence is determined and it is shown that the S neighbors of each Sm atom adopt an average distance rather than a dynamically distorted environment with two distances corresponding to the two valence states. From this it is concluded that the characteristic Sm 4f-band width is not greatly modified by polaron effects
