Kondo Hybridization and the Origin of Metallic States at the (001) Surface of SmB_{6}
SmB_{6}, a well-known Kondo insulator, has been proposed to be an ideal topological insulator with states of topological character located in a clean, bulk electronic gap, namely, the Kondo-hybridization gap. Since the Kondo gap arises from many-body electronic correlations, SmB_{6} would be placed...
