According to Tod Caldwell a student of Florida State University College of Arts and Science has a research about the “Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Studies of Field Effects on Single Crystal Smb6 conclude that The low temperature anomaly of SmB6 appears to be an intrinsic characteristic of the system both from the NMR data and previous bulk measurements. Recent models have made use of excitonic states but have emphasized either the charge or spin characteristic of the gap. According to Kasuya the charge and spin gap are one in the same since the correlation effects are between 4f moment and the 5d hole to form a bound state. Rise borough completes the model to give quantitative relationship to these correlated systems and to show that it is a virtual exchange rather than one mediated by a charge carrier. According to the measurements conducted at the NHMFL the in-gap states are affected by an applied field. The correlation effects, or in-gap state, seem to be moving up in energy scale as the field is increased. This would be expected for antiferromagnetic correlations since an applied field would weaken them. It is difficult to discern whether the population of the gap states is being reduced by the field due to the reduction of the antiferromagnatic correlations or the shifting of the in-gap states toward the Fermi surface.
The field dependence of the relaxation data lends itself to the spin character of the gap since charge features would not be greatly enhanced by an applied field. The antiferromagnetic correlation involved in magnetic bound states explain the low temperature characteristics of both the NMR relaxation rate and susceptibility, as wellas other previous experiments, i.e. – raman scattering, neutron scattering, optical (IR) measurements, etc.
