Topological Phase and Strong Correlation in Rare-Earth Hexaborides XB<sub>6</sub> (X = La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Pm, Sm, Eu)

The rare-earth hexaboride SmB<sub>6</sub>, known as the topological Kondo insulator, has attracted tremendous attention in recent years. It was revealed that the topological phase of SmB<sub>6</sub> is insensitive to the value of on-site Coulomb interactions (Hubbard U), indi...
