Topological insulators give rise to exquisite electronic properties because of their spin-
momentum locked Dirac-cone-like band structure. Recently, it has been suggested that the …

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 …

We review our theoretical advances in tunable topological quantum states in three-and two-
dimensional materials with strong spin-orbital couplings. In three-dimensional systems, we …

Resonant x-ray emission spectroscopy was used to determine the pressure dependence of
the f-electron occupancy in the Kondo insulator SmB 6. Applied pressure reduces the f …

An efficient implementation of the self-consistent GW method in the FlapwMBPT code
https://www. bnl. gov/cmpmsd/flapwmbpt/is presented. It features the evaluation of …

Skutterudites, a class of materials with cage-like crystal structure which have received
considerable research interest in recent years, are the breeding ground of several unusual …

The rise of topology in condensed-matter physics has generated strong interest in identifying
novel quantum materials in which topological protection is driven by electronic correlations …

We have investigated temperature-dependent behaviors of electronic structure and
resistivity in a mixed-valent golden phase of SmS, based on the dynamical mean-field …

Impurity‐induced structural distortion in SmB6 is suggested by Raman spectroscopy study
on impurity‐controlled samples. Significant differences in the Raman spectra of single …

This Foreward briefly surveys the recent burst of research on the mixed valent insulator
SmB6 in the context of two questions,(1) is SmB6 in fact the first example of a strongly …
