在这篇综述中，我们给出了一个概述的性能和应用的一硫化钐，SmS，这已经获得了相当大的兴趣作为一种开关材料。它显示了通过抛光从半导体到金属状态的压力诱导相变，并且通过加热切换回半导体状态。该材料还显示出从顺磁状态到反铁磁有序状态的磁性转变。半导体和金属状态之间的切换行为可以在几个应用中被利用，例如高密度光存储和存储材料、热伏打器件、红外传感器等等。我们讨论的电子，光学和磁性的SmS，它的开关行为，以及薄膜沉积技术已被使用，如电子束蒸发和溅射。此外，这种材料的应用和未来工作的可能想法。我们的范围是目前的SmS，这主要是在散装晶体测量的属性，而在同一时间，我们描述了可能的沉积方法，这将推动SmS的研究到纳米尺度，打开一个有趣的低维，压力诱导超导金属过渡化合物的应用范围。
In this review, we give an overview of the properties and applications of samarium monosulfide, SmS, which has gained considerable interest as a switchable material. It shows a pressure-induced phase transition from the semiconducting to the metallic state by polishing, and it switches back to the semiconducting state by heating. The material also shows a magnetic transition, from the paramagnetic state to an antiferromagnetically ordered state. The switching behavior between the semiconducting and metallic states could be exploited in several applications, such as high density optical storage and memory materials, thermovoltaic devices, infrared sensors and more. We discuss the electronic, optical and magnetic properties of SmS, its switching behavior, as well as the thin film deposition techniques which have been used, such as e-beam evaporation and sputtering. Moreover, applications and possible ideas for future work on this material are presented. Our scope is to present the properties of SmS, which were mainly measured in bulk crystals, while at the same time we describe the possible deposition methods that will push the study of SmS to nanoscale dimensions, opening an intriguing range of applications for low-dimensional, pressure-induced semiconductor–metal transition compounds.
