Samarium hexaboride (SmB6) is an example of a Kondo insulator, in which strong electron
correlations cause a band gap to open. SmB6 hosts both a bulk insulating state and a …

Cd3As2 is a three-dimensional Dirac semimetal with separated Dirac points in momentum
space. In spite of extensive transport and spectroscopic studies on its exotic properties, the …

We study theoretically the coupling of electric charge and spin polarization in an equilibrium
and nonequilibrium electric transport across a two-dimensional Josephson configuration …

In 1928, Dirac proposed a wave equation to describe relativistic electrons. Shortly
afterwards, Klein solved a simple potential step problem for the Dirac equation and …

Heavy fermion compounds are a remarkable class of inter-metallic systems, where the
presence of several competing interactions leads to the emergence of a plethora of exotic …

Superconducting proximity devices using low-dimensional semiconducting elements enable
a ballistic regime in the proximity transport. The use of topological insulators in such devices …

After the theoretical prediction that SmB 6 is a topological Kondo insulator, there has been
an explosion of studies on the SmB 6 surface. However, there is not yet an agreement on …

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 …

The nontrivial feature and penetration depth of the topological surface states (TSS) in SmB 6
were studied via spin pumping. The experiments used SmB 6 thin films grown on the bulk …

We show that the resistivity plateau of SmB 6 at low temperature, typically taken as a
hallmark of its conducting surface state, can systematically be influenced by different surface …
