摘要
Angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy(ARPES)and torque magnetometry(TM)measurements have been carried out to study the electronic structures of a correlated topological insulator(TI)candidate Yb B6.We observed clear surface states on the[001]surface centered at theГ^- and М^- points of the surface Brillouin zone.Interestingly,the fermiology revealed by the quantum oscillation of TM measurements agrees excellently with ARPES measurements.Moreover,the band structures we observed suggest that the band inversion in Yb B6 happens between the Yb5 dand B2bands,instead of the Yb5dand Yb4fbands as suggested by previous theoretical investigation,which will help settle the heavy debate regarding the topological nature of samarium/ytterbium hexaborides.
Angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy(ARPES) and torque magnetometry(TM) measurements have been carried out to study the electronic structures of a correlated topological insulator(TI) candidate Yb B6. We observed clear surface states on the [001] surface centered at the ■ and ■ points of the surface Brillouin zone. Interestingly, the fermiology revealed by the quantum oscillation of TM measurements agrees excellently with ARPES measurements. Moreover,the band structures we observed suggest that the band inversion in Yb B6 happens between the Yb5 dand B2bands, instead of the Yb5dand Yb4fbands as suggested by previous theoretical investigation, which will help settle the heavy debate regarding the topological nature of samarium/ytterbium hexaborides.
