摘要:

在广义梯度近似加就地库仑相互作用(GGA+U)的框架下,讨论了混合价化合物SmB 6和YbB 6的拓扑态及其轨道织构的演化.在SmB 6中,拓扑Kondo绝缘体(TKI)能隙对U值不敏感,但与之形成鲜明对比的是,在同构YbB 6中,Kondo物理对U值表现出惊人的敏感性。特别地,随着U在YbB 6中的增加,在弱耦合区域中的相关TKI状态转变为d-p型拓扑绝缘体相,在中间耦合范围中Yb-5d和B-2 p轨道之间具有带反转,而在整个过程中没有关闭绝缘能隙。我们的理论预测有关的TKI和非TKI相SmB 6和YbB 6是在实质上符合最近的角分辨光电子能谱(ARPES)的实验。

英文摘要:

We discuss the evolution of topological states and their orbital textures in the mixed valence compounds SmB6 and YbB6 within the framework of the generalized gradient approximation plus onsite Coulomb interaction (GGA+U) scheme for a wide range of values of U. In SmB6, the topological Kondo insulator (TKI) gap is found to be insensitive to the value of U, but in sharp contrast, Kondo physics in isostructural YbB6 displays a surprising sensitivity to U. In particular, as U is increased in YbB6, the correlated TKI state in the weak-coupling regime transforms into a d-p-type topological insulator phase with a band inversion between Yb-5d and B-2p orbitals in the intermediate coupling range, without closing the insulating energy gap throughout this process. Our theoretical predictions related to the TKI and non-TKI phases in SmB6 and YbB6 are in substantial accord with recent angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) experiments.
