Fig. (IMAGE) Osaka University Caption (a) Crystal structure of SmB6 and the vicinal surface used in this study. (b) Obtained electron diffraction pattern of the anisotropic surface superstructure. The different intensities of the marked spots (solid circle and dashed circle) correspond to the surface anisotropy. (c) Fermi surface of TSS obtained by ARPES. The image has a two-fold symmetry, which is inconsistent with the bulk four-fold symmetry. Credit Yoshiyuki Ohtsubo, Shin-ichi Kimura Usage Restrictions None.
