One-dimensional edge state transport in a topological Kondo insulator
Topological insulators,withmetallic boundarystatesprotected against time-reversal-invariant perturbations1, are apromising avenue for realizing exotic quantum states of matter, including various excitations of collective modes predicted in particle physics, such as Majorana fermions2 and axions3. According to theoretical predictions4, a topological insulating state can emerge from not only a we...
متن کاملTopological order in a correlated three-dimensional topological insulator.
Motivated by experimental progress in the growth of heavy transition metal oxides, we theoretically study a class of lattice models of interacting fermions with strong spin-orbit coupling. Focusing on interactions of intermediate strength, we derive a low-energy effective field theory for a fully gapped, topologically ordered, fractionalized state with an eightfold ground-state degeneracy. This...
متن کاملOne - di ensional edge state transport in a topological Kondo insulator
Single crystals of SmB6 were grown with Al flux, starting from pre-grown powdered SmB6 (samples #1 and #2) and from elemental Sm and B with the stoichiometry of 1 to 6 (#3, #4, #5, and #6) in a ratio of SmB6 : Al = 1 : 200 250. The starting materials were placed in an alumina crucible and sealed in a quartz ampoule or loaded in a tube furnace under Ar atmosphere. The whole assembly was heated t...
متن کاملSurface electronic structure of the topological Kondo-insulator candidate correlated electron system SmB6.
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 electronic structure of the anomalous transport regime by combining state-of-the-art laser and synchrotron-based angle-resolved photoemission techniques. We observe clear in-gap states (up to ~4 meV), whose temperature dependence is c...
متن کاملPlutonium hexaboride is a correlated topological insulator.
We predict that plutonium hexaboride (PuB(6)) is a strongly correlated topological insulator, with Pu in an intermediate valence state of Pu(2.7+). Within the combination of dynamical mean field theory and density functional theory, we show that PuB(6) is an insulator in the bulk, with nontrivial Z(2) topological invariants. Its metallic surface states have a large Fermi pocket at the X[over ¯]...
