Scanning Tunneling Spectroscopy on the f-electron system Praseodymium Hexaboride — •Lisa Harmsen1, Philipp Buchsteiner1, Geetha Balakrishnan2, and Martin Wenderoth11IV.

The surfaces of f-electron systems like rare-earth hexaborides are prone to host correlation effects, such as heavy Dirac fermions [1]. While the Samarium Hexaboride surface have been studied in the past [2], only little is known about the electronic surface structure of the neighbouring f-electron system Praseodymium Hexaboride (PrB6). Here, we have investigated the (001)-cleavage plane of PrB6 with Scanning Tunneling Microscopy (STM) and Spectroscopy (STS) down to 8 K. The acquired data reveals non reconstructed areas as well as several surface reconstructions. In contrast to Photoemission Spectroscopy measurements [3], where a large surface area is mapped, we are able to resolve the electronic structure locally including the local structure as seen in constant current topographies. This opens a way to disentangle f-electron physics on the atomic scale. This work is supported by the DFG grant WE1889/10-1 and PR298/19-1. [1] H.
