Robust hybridization gap in a Kondo Insulator YbB${}_{12}$ probed by femtosecond optical spectroscopy
2021
In heavy fermions the relaxation dynamics of photoexcited carriers has been found to be governed by the low energy indirect gap, E$_{g}$, resulting from hybridization between localized moments and conduction band electrons. Here, carrier relaxation dynamics in a prototype Kondo insulator YbB${}_{12}$ is studied over large range of temperatures and over three orders of magnitude. We utilize the intrinsic non-linearity of dynamics to quantitatively determine microscopic parameters, such as electron-hole recombination rate. The extracted value reveals that hybridization is accompanied by a strong charge transfer from localized 4f-levels. The results imply the presence of a hybridization gap up…

In heavy fermions the relaxation dynamics of photoexcited carriers has been found to be governed by the low energy indirect gap ${\mathrm{E}}_{g}$ resulting from hybridization between localized moments and conduction band electrons. Here, carrier relaxation dynamics in a prototype Kondo insulator $\mathrm{Yb}{\mathrm{B}}_{12}$ is studied over a large range of temperatures and over three orders of magnitude. We utilize the intrinsic nonlinearity of dynamics to quantitatively determine microscopic parameters, such as electron-hole recombination rate. The extracted value reveals that hybridization is accompanied by a strong charge transfer from localized $4f$ levels. The results imply the pres…
