Topological semimetals (TSMs) are characterized by bulk band crossings in their electronic
structures, which are expected to give rise to gapless electronic excitations and topological …

The physics of quantum materials is dictated by many-body interactions and mathematical
concepts such as symmetry and topology that have transformed our understanding of matter …

The first-principles band theory paradigm has been a key player not only in the process of
discovering new classes of topologically interesting materials, but also for identifying salient …

This article reviews recent theoretical and experimental work on a new class of topological
material—topological Kondo insulators, which develop through the interplay of strong …

Abstract The Kondo insulator SmB6 has long been known to exhibit low-temperature
transport anomalies whose origin is of great interest. Here we uniquely access the surface …

In the Kondo insulator samarium hexaboride (SmB6), strong correlation and band
hybridization lead to an insulating gap and a diverging resistance at low temperature. The …

We study the transport properties of the Kondo insulator SmB 6 with a specialized
configuration designed to distinguish bulk-dominated conduction from surface-dominated …

A topological insulator (TI) is an unusual quantum state in which the insulating bulk is
topologically distinct from vacuum, resulting in a unique metallic surface that is robust …

SmB6, a well-known Kondo insulator, exhibits a transport anomaly at low temperature. This
anomaly is usually attributed to states within the hybridization gap. Recent theoretical work …

Topological Kondo insulators have been proposed as a new class of topological insulators
in which non-trivial surface states reside in the bulk Kondo band gap at low temperature due …
