Abstract

Polarized Raman spectra of mixed valence compounds SmB6 and Sm(Y)S were measured and analyzed within the framework of an excitonic theory to elucidate the connection between 4f charge fluctuations and the appearance of additional modes. In SmB6 the resonance mode or bound state is a first-order contribution with Γ25 + symmetry. In Sm(Y)S the resonance mode has monopolar (Γ1 +) symmetry. A transition to a coherent electron-vibrational state is observed.
