- Abstract
- The broad-band reflection spectra of YB6 and YbB6 hexaborides with Jahn–Teller instability of the boron cage have been measured at room temperature. An optical conductivity analysis has revealed, along with the Drude electronic components, heavily overdamped collective modes, which are notable in YB6 for high dielectric contributions, Δε = 2000–5700. The fraction of nonequilibrium charge carriers in YB6, which is at the boundary of structural instability in the hexaboride family, reaches 85–90%, whereas this fraction in doped YbB6 semiconductor is not higher than 25%. It has been shown that unlike the predictions of the topological Kondo insulator model, the surface “metallization” in Yb2+B6 crystals can be explained by additional doping of a surface layer with Yb3+ ions.
