Topological crystalline Kondo insulator in mixed valence ytterbium borides.

The electronic structures of two mixed valence insulators YbB6 and YbB12 are studied by using the local density approximation supplemented with the Gutzwiller method and dynamic mean field theory. YbB6 is found to be a moderately correlated Z2 topological insulator, similar to SmB6 but having much larger bulk band gap. Notably, YbB12 is revealed to be in a new novel quantum state, strongly corr...

Abstracts for Condensed Matter Seminars

In this talk, I will propose that the mix valence phenomena in some of the rare earth compounds will naturally lead to non-trivial topology in band structure.One of the typical example is SmB6, where the intermediate valence of Sm generates band inversion at the X point and the non-trivial Z2 index. Other than SmB6, YbB6 and YbB12 are both mix valence compounds. By applying LDA+Gutzwiller to th...

Insulator-to-metal transition in Kondo insulators under a strong magnetic field.

Magnetization curve and changes of the single-particle excitation spectra by magnetic field are calculated for the periodic Anderson model at half-filling in infinite spatial dimension by using the exact diagonalization method. It is found that the field-induced insulator-to-metal transition occurs at a critical field Hc, which is of the order of the single ion Kondo temperature. The transition...

Optical study of c–f hybridization states in mixed-valent Yb compounds: metallic YbAl3 vs semiconducting YbB12

We have measured the optical conductivity spectra sðoÞ of YbB12 and YbAl3; which are typical mixed-valent Yb compounds. The measured sðoÞ spectra in the mid-infrared region are quite similar for the two compounds, with a pronounced peak centered near 0:2 eV: This result demonstrates that the Kondo semiconductor YbB12 and the highly metallic YbAl3 share very similar electronic structures near th...

Self-consistent perturbational study of insulator-to-metal transition in Kondo insulators due to strong magnetic field

In order to study the effects of strong magnetic field on Kondo insulators, we calculate magnetization curves and single-particle excitation spectra of the periodic Anderson model at half-filling under finite magnetic field by using the self-consistent second-order perturbation theory combined with the local approximation which becomes exact in the limit of infinite spatial dimensions. Without ...

Surface Kondo effect and non-trivial metallic state of the Kondo insulator YbB12

A synergistic effect between strong electron correlation and spin-orbit interaction has been theoretically predicted to realize new topological states of quantum matter on Kondo insulators (KIs), so-called topological Kondo insulators (TKIs). One TKI candidate has been experimentally observed on the KI SmB6(001), and the origin of the surface states (SS) and the topological order of SmB6 has be...
