Correlated Topological Insulators with Mixed Valenc    [PDF]

Feng Lu, JianZhou Zhao, Hongming Weng, Zhong Fang, Xi Dai
We propose the local density approximation (LDA)+Gutzwiller method incorporating Green's function scheme to study the topological physics of correlated materials from the first-principles. Applying this method to typical mixed valence materials SmB6, we found its non-trivial Z2 topology, indicating that SmB6 is a strongly correlated topological insulator (TI). The unique feature of this compound is that its surface states contain three Dirac cones in contrast to most known TIs.
