Though YB6 and LaB6 share the same crystal structure, atomic valence electron
configuration, and phonon modes, they exhibit drastically different phonon-mediated …

We investigated the crystal-electric field ground state of the 4 f manifold in the strongly
correlated topological insulator SmB 6 using core-level nonresonant inelastic x-ray …

SmB6 is a strongly correlated mixed-valence Kondo insulator, with a newly discovered
surface state,, proposed to be of non-trivial topological origin,. However, the surface state …

Homogeneous mixed-valence (MV) behaviour is one of the most intriguing phenomena of f-
electron systems. Despite extensive efforts, a fundamental aspect which remains unsettled is …

SmB 6 has been a well-known Kondo insulator for decades, but recently attracts extensive
new attention as a candidate topological system. Studying SmB 6 under pressure provides …

We have carried out bulk-sensitive hard x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy measurements on
in situ cleaved and ex situ polished SmB 6 single crystals. Using the multiplet structure in the …

Samarium hexaboride crystallizes in a simple cubic structure (space group# 221, Pm3̄m),
but its properties are far from being straightforward. Initially classified as a Kondo insulator …

We theoretically study the magnetic phase diagram of a three-dimensional topological
Kondo insulator by means of real-space dynamical mean-field theory. We find that …

Antiferromagnetic materials, whose time-reversal symmetry is broken, can be classified into
the Z 2 topology if they respect some specific symmetry. Since the theoretical proposal …

We report the results of high-pressure x-ray diffraction, x-ray absorption, and electrical
transport measurements of the Kondo insulator (KI) Ce 3 Bi 4 Pt 3 up to 42 GPa, the highest …
