SmB6: Kondo Insulator or Exotic Metal?

Cooley, J. C., Aronson, M. C., Fisk, Z., Canfield, P. C.·1995·Physical Review Letters

Abstract

High pressure resistivity and Hall effect measurements on Sm${\mathrm{B}}_{6}$ show that the activation gap \ensuremath{\Delta} vanishes discontinuously between 45 and 53 kbar, yielding at high pressures a mass-enhanced Fermi liquid phase. The low temperature transport is dominated by extended states in the gap with unusual superunitarity scattering properties, and a carrier density which grows almost exponentially with reduced \ensuremath{\Delta}, saturating below 45 kbar near 0.15 electron per unit cell. Our results are inconsistent with hybridization gap models and suggest a striking parallel to Mott-Hubbard insulators.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
