Author(s): Paul Syers, Dohun Kim, Michael S. Fuhrer, and Johnpierre Paglione

Transport measurements in samarium hexaboride – a material expected to behave as a topological Kondo insulator – indicate an insulating bulk material with metallic surface states, with the ability to tune both surface and bulk conduction.
