Abstract

Extended Falicov-Kimball model has been considered for samarium-chalcogenides where, (a) f-f interactions are considered to be quite large, (b) periodicity of the system has been taken into account, (c) f-d interactions are considered within mean field approximation and (d) the unperturbed conduction bandwidth is taken to be non-zero. We observe both continuous as well as discontinuous transitions and hence conclude that "extended Falicov-Kimball model" is a suitable model which can describe both a first order transition and a suitable intermediate valence phase in Sm-chalcogenides.
