Mixed-valence insulators with neutral Fermi surfaces

Samarium hexaboride is a candidate topological insulator but recent experiments have found behaviour indicative of a metallic Fermi liquid phase. Here the authors show that the conflicting observations can be accommodated by a model where strong interactions drive the formation of exotic neutral qua...
