Breakdown of bulk-projected isotropy in surface electronic states of topological Kondo insulator SmB6(001)

Previous work exploring the robustness of topological surface states to perturbations has mostly focused on surfaces with the same atomic structure as the bulk. Here the authors demonstrate the effect of surface reconstruction on the topological surfaces on the (100) surface of SmB6.
