Abstract

High pressure [Formula presented] nuclear forward scattering experiments have been performed on the nonmagnetic semiconductor SmS. We present the first clear evidence that the closure of the insulating gap at [Formula presented] coincides with the appearance of magnetic order. The pressure-induced magnetic phase transition has some first order character and suggests that the Sm ions are nearly trivalent at [Formula presented]. A [Formula presented] quartet crystal field ground state with a value of [Formula presented] for the samarium magnetic moment is inferred from our results. Considerable magnetic short range order is observed above the ordering temperature inferred from macroscopic measurements.
