We utilize variational method to investigate the Kondo screening of a spin-1/2 magnetic impurity in tilted Dirac surface states with the Dirac cone tilted along the $k_y$-axis. We mainly study about the effect of the tilting term on the binding energy and the spin-spin correlation between magnetic impurity and conduction electrons, and compare the results with the counterparts in a two dimensional helical metal. The binding energy has a critical value while the Dirac cone is slightly tilted. However, as the tilting term increases, the density of states around the Fermi surface becomes significant, such that the impurity and the host material always favor a bound state. The diagonal and the off-diagonal terms of the spin-spin correlation between the magnetic impurity and conduction electrons are also studied. Due to the spin-orbit coupling and the tilting of the spectra, various components of spin-spin correlation show very strong anisotropy in coordinate space, and are of power-law decay with respect to the spatial displacements.

We present the results of an experimental study of the nucleation of superconductivity at the surface of a single crystal YB$_6$ in a tilted dc magnetic field. A recently developed experimental technique allowed us to determine $H_{c3}$ at each side
of the sample as a function of the angle between the dc magnetic field and the surface. Experiment shows that the ratio $H_{c3}/ H_{c2}approx 1.28 $ in the direction perpendicular to the surface dc field while according to the theory this ratio should be equal to 1. This sharp distinction cannot be ascribed to the surface roughness.
The electrodynamics of Weyl semimetals (WSMs) is an extension of Maxwells theory where in addition to field strength tensor $F_{mu u}$, an axion field enters the theory which is parameterized by a four-vector $b^mu=(b_0,bf b)$. In the tilted Weyl mat
ter (TWM) an additional set of parameters ${bfzeta}=(zeta_x,zeta_y,zeta_z)$ enter the theory that can be encoded into the metric of the spacetime felt by electrons in TWM. This allows an extension of Maxwells electrodynamics that describes electric and magnetic fields in TWMs and tilted Dirac material (TDM) when $b^mu=0$. The tilt parameter $bfzeta$ appearing as off-diagonal metric entries mixing time and space components mingles $bf E$ and $bf B$ fields whereby modifies the inhomogeneous Maxwells equations. Surface plasmon polariton (SPP) in these systems describes the propagation of electromagnetic waves at the {it interface of two different spacetime geometries}. In the case of TDM, we find a characteristic dependence of SPP spectrum on the tilt parameter $zeta$ which can be used map $zeta$ from SPP measurements. In the case of TWM, depending on whether the interface with vacuum supports a Fermi arc or not, and whether the propagation direction is along the Fermi arc or transverse to it, we find many unusual spectral features for SPP modes. Our detailed study of the dependence of SPP spectra on the arrangements of three vectors $(bf b, q,zeta)$, the first two of which are at our control, can be utilized to map the tilt characteristics and Fermi arc characteristics from SPP measurements.
We have performed first-principles calculation of the surface and bulk wavefunctions of the Cu(111) surface and their hybridization energies to a Co adatom, including the potential scattering from the Co. By analyzing the calculated hybridization ene
rgies, we found the bulk states dominate the contribution to the Kondo temperature, in agreement with recent experiments. Furthermore, we also calculate the tunneling conductance of a scanning tunneling microscope (STM) and compare our results with recent experiments of Co impurities in the Cu(111) surface. Good quantitative agreement is found at short parallel impurity-tip distances (< 6 A). Our results indicate the need for a new formulation of the problem at larger distances.
The ferromagnetic topological insulator V:(Bi,Sb)$_2$Te$_3$ has been recently reported as a quantum anomalous Hall (QAH) system. Yet the microscopic origins of the QAH effect and the ferromagnetism remain unclear. One key aspect is the contribution o
f the V atoms to the electronic structure. Here the valence band of V:(Bi,Sb)$_2$Te$_3$ thin films was probed in an element-specific way by resonant photoemission spectroscopy. The signature of the V $3d$ impurity band was extracted, and exhibits a high density of states near Fermi level. First-principles calculations support the experimental results and indicate the coexistence of ferromagnetic superexchange and double exchange interactions. The observed impurity band is thus expected to contribute to the ferromagnetism via the interplay of different mechanisms.
Bi2Te3 is a member of a new class of materials known as topological insulators which are supposed to be insulating in the bulk and conducting on the surface. However experimental verification of the surface states has been difficult in electrical tra
nsport measurements due to a conducting bulk. We report low temperature magnetotransport measurements on single crystal samples of Bi2Te3. We observe metallic character in our samples and large and linear magnetoresistance from 1.5 K to 290 K with prominent Shubnikov-de Haas (SdH) oscillations whose traces persist upto 20 K. Even though our samples are metallic we are able to obtain a Berry phase close to the value of {pi} expected for Dirac fermions of the topological surface states. This indicates that we might have obtained evidence for the topological surface states in metallic single crystals of Bi2Te3. Other physical quantities obtained from the analysis of the SdH oscillations are also in close agreement with those reported for the topological surface states. The linear magnetoresistance observed in our sample, which is considered as a signature of the Dirac fermions of the surface states, lends further credence to the existence of topological surface states.
