We study surface state plasmonics in the periodic Anderson model of a bulk topological Kondo insulator system, involving strongly correlated f electrons screened by weakly correlated d electrons, performing a mean-field theoretic…

A topological Kondo insulator (TKI) is a strongly-correlated material, where hybridization between the conduction electrons and localized f-electrons gives rise to a crossover from a metallic behavior at high temperatures to a topologically…

Topological Kondo insulator (TKI) is an essential example of interacting topological insulator, where electron's correlation effect plays a key role. However, most of our understanding on this timely issue comes from numerical simulations,…

By using an extended slave-boson method, we draw a global phase diagram summarizing both magnetic phases and paramagnetic (PM) topological insulating phases (TI$_s$) in three-dimensional topological Kondo insulator (TKI). By including…

We analyze the impact of strong correlations on the surface states of a three-dimensional topological Kondo insulator. An important observation is that correlations are strongly increased at the surface, which leads to an energetical…

A synergistic effect between strong electron correlation and spin-orbit interaction (SOI) has been theoretically predicted to result in a new topological state of quantum matter on Kondo insulators (KIs), so-called topological Kondo…

The discovery of topological insulators in non-interacting electron systems has motivated the community to search such topological states of matter in correlated electrons both theoretically and experimentally. In this paper we investigate…

Shortly after the discovery of topological band insulators, topological Kondo insulators (TKIs) have also been theoretically predicted. The latter has ignited revival interest in the properties of Kondo insulators. Currently, the…

The concept of a topological Kondo insulator (TKI) has been brought forward as a new class of topological insulators in which non-trivial surface states reside in the bulk Kondo band gap at low temperature due to the strong spin-orbit…

Topological Kondo insulators (TKIs) are new type of symmetry-protected topological insulators, which develop through the interplay of strong correlations and spin-orbit interactions. In these materials, the bulk is a perfect band insulator…

We study a generic topological Kondo insulator system by performing a mean-field theoretic calculation within the frame-work of slave-boson protocol. We assume infinite Hubbard-type interaction among the localized electrons. The difference…

Heavy fermion materials naturally combine strong spin-orbit interactions and electronic correlations. When there is precisely one conduction electron per impurity spin, the coherent heavy fermion state is insulating. This Kondo insulating…

The topological magnetoelectric effect (TME) is the fundamental quantization effect for topological insulators in units of the fine structure constant $\alpha$. In [Phys. Rev. Lett. 105, 166803(2010)], a topological quantization condition…

We consider a thin film of a topological insulator (TI) sandwiched between two ferromagnetic (FM) layers. The system is additionally under an external gate voltage. The surface electron states of TI are magnetized due to the magnetic…

The cooperation of electronic correlation and spin-orbit coupling can stabilize magnetic topological insulators which host novel quantum phenomena such as the quantum anomalous Hall state also known as Chern insulator (CI). Here, we…

The effect of a local Kondo coupling and Hubbard interaction on the topological phase of the one-dimensional topological Kondo insulator (TKI) is numerically investigated using the infinite matrix-product state density-matrix…

We study the influence of the antiferromagnetic order on the surface states of topological insulators. We derive an effective Hamiltonian for these states, taking into account the spatial structure of the antiferromagnetic order. We obtain…

Motivated by the high sensitivity to Fermi surface topology and scattering mechanisms in magneto-thermoelectric transport, we have measured the thermopower and Nernst effect on the (011)-plane of the proposed topological Kondo insulator…

We consider a magnetic impurity deposited on the surface of a strong topological insulator and interacting with the surface modes by a Kondo exchange interaction. Taking into account the warping of the Fermi line of the surface modes, we…

The resistance of a conventional insulator diverges as temperature approaches zero. The peculiar low temperature resistivity saturation in the 4f Kondo insulator (KI) SmB6 has spurred proposals of a correlation-driven topological Kondo…
