摘要:

在近藤绝缘体六硼化钐(SmB $_6$)中观察到的特殊金属电子态,引起了人们对非平凡电子现象研究的极大关注。然而,对这些状态的实验研究导致了有争议的结论,主要是由于SmB $_6$晶体表面的困难和不均匀性。在这里,我们显示了详细的电子结构的SmB $_6$与角分辨光电子能谱学测量的三重(111)表面,只有两个不相等的时间反转不变动量(TRIM)存在。我们观察到金属二维态分散在体Kondo带隙中。根据弱关联系统的拓扑分类理论,SmB表面TRIM附近的螺旋面内自旋极化表明SmB $_6$是拓扑非平凡的.基于这些结果,我们提出了一个简单的图片有争议的拓扑分类的SmB $_6$。

英文摘要:

The peculiar metallic electronic states observed in the Kondo insulator, samarium hexaboride (SmB$_6$), has stimulated considerable attention among those studying non-trivial electronic phenomena. However, experimental studies of these states have led to controversial conclusions mainly to the difficulty and inhomogeneity of the SmB$_6$ crystal surface. Here, we show the detailed electronic structure of SmB$_6$ with angle-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy measurements of the three-fold (111) surface where only two inequivalent time-reversal-invariant momenta (TRIM) exist. We observe the metallic two-dimensional state was dispersed across the bulk Kondo gap. Its helical in-plane spin polarisation around the surface TRIM suggests that SmB$_6$ is topologically non-trivial, according to the topological classification theory for weakly correlated systems. Based on these results, we propose a simple picture of the controversial topological classification of SmB$_6$.
