Laser angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) is employed to investigate the temperature ($T$) dependence of electronic structure in ${\mathrm{BaFe}}_{2}{\mathrm{As}}_{2}$ across magnetostructural transition at ${T}_{N}\ensuremath{\sim}140\text{ }\text{ }\mathrm{K}$. A drastic transformation Fermi surface (FS) shape ${T}_{N}$ observed, as expected by first-principles band calculations. Polarization-dependent ARPES and calculations consistently indicate that observed FSs...

Recent studies suggest that an exemplary Kondo insulator SmB6 belongs to a new class of topological insulators (TIs), in which non-trivial spin-polarized metallic states emerge on surface upon the formation hybridization gap bulk. Remarkably, bulk resistivity reaches more than 20 Ω cm at 4 K, making candidate for so-called bulk-insulating TI.
