In last decades,topological materials[1-3]have attracted lots of research interest.Topological Kondo insulator(TKI)[4],as an exotic quantum state,has been proposed theoretically in two hexaborides Sm B6and Yb B6,in which there is a d/f(p)band inversion at momentum point X[5].There are lots of experimental work supporting the TKI state and metallic surface state in typical Kondo insulator Sm B6[6-10].However,more and more experimental results demonstrated that Yb B6is trivial insulator at ambient pressure[11].Under high pressure,the band gap of Yb B6will close and the d/p band inversion can happen under pressure about 15 GPa[12].
