SmB<sub>6</sub> nanowires, as a prototype of nanostructured topological Kondo insulator, have shown rich novel physical phenomena relating to their surface. Catalyst-assisted chemical vapor deposition (CVD) is a common approach to prepare SmB<sub>6</sub> nanowires and Ni is the most popular catalyst used to initiate the growth of SmB<sub>6</sub> nanowires. Here, we study the effect of growth mechanism on the surface of SmB<sub>6</sub> nanowires synthesized by CVD. Two types of SmB<sub>6</sub> na ...[more]
