We report the pressure-dependent optical reflectivity spectra of a strongly correlated insulator, samarium monosulfide (SmS), in the far- and middle-infrared regions to investigate the origin of the pressure-induced phase transition from the black phase to the golden phase. The energy gap becomes narrow with increasing pressure in the black phase. A valence transition from Sm2+ in the black phase to mainly Sm3+ in the golden phase accompanied by spectral change from insulator to metal were observed at the transition pressure of 0.65 GPa. The black-to-golden phase transition occurs when the energy gap size of black SmS becomes the same as the binding energy of the exciton at the indirect energy gap before the gap closes. This result indicates that the valence transition originates from an excitonic instability.

We measured the thermal expansion of the valence fluctuating phase of SmS (golden SmS) to construct a pressure vs temperature phase diagram. The obtained phase diagram is characterized by three lines. One is a crossover line that divides the paramagn
etic phase into two regions. The other two lines correspond to a second-order Neel transition and a first-order Neel transition. The crossover line appears to emerge from a tricritical point that separates the first-order Neel transition from the second-order one. We argue that a valence jump occurs at the border of antiferromagnetism.
We have investigated temperature-dependent behaviors of electronic structure and resistivity in a mixed-valent golden phase of SmS, based on the dynamical mean-field theory band structure calculations. Upon cooling, the coherent Sm 4$f$ bands are for
med to produce the hybridization induced pseudogap near the Fermi level, and accordingly the topology of Fermi surface is changed to exhibit a Lifshitz-like transition. The surface states emerging in the bulk gap region are found to be not topologically protected states but just typical Rashba spin-polarized states, indicating that SmS is not a topological Kondo semimetal. From the analysis of anomalous resistivity behavior in SmS, we have identified universal energy scales, which characterize the Kondo/mixed-valent semimetallic systems.
We analyze the Coulomb interacting problem in undoped graphene layers by using an excitonic variational ansatz. By minimizing the energy, we derive a gap equation which reproduces and extends known results. We show that a full treatment of the exchan
ge term, which includes the renormalization of the Fermi velocity, tends to suppress the phase transition by increasing the critical coupling at which the excitonic instability takes place.
We have performed $^{31}$P-NMR measurements on single-crystalline CeRuPO under pressure in order to understand the variation in magnetic character against pressure. The NMR spectra for $H perp c$ and $H parallel c$ at 2.15GPa split below the ordered
temperature, which is a microscopic evidence of the change in the magnetic ground state from the ferromagnetic (FM) state at ambient pressure to the antiferromagnetic (AFM) state under pressure. The analysis of NMR spectra suggests that the magnetic structure in AFM state is the stripe-type AFM state with the AFM moment $m_{rm AFM} perp c$-axis and changes by magnetic field perpendicular to $c$-axis. In addition, the dimensionality of magnetic correlations in the spin and the $k$ space is estimated. We reveal that three-dimensional magnetic correlations in CeRuPO are robust against pressure, which is quite different from the suppression of the magnetic correlations along the $c$-axis by Fe substitution in Ce(Ru$_{1-x}$Fe$_{x}$)PO.
The relationship is established between the Berry phase and spin crossover in condensed matter physics induced by high pressure. It is shown that the geometric phase has topological origin and can be considered as the order parameter for such transition.
