Magnetic resonance probing of ground state in the mixed valence correlated topological insulator SmB6

Abstract Introducing of topological insulator concept for fluctuating valence compound – samarium hexaboride – has recently initiated a new round of studies aimed to clarify the nature of the ground state in this extraordinary system with strong electron correlations. Here we discuss the data of mag...
