Electron–phonon interactions and quantum oscillations in YbB12

Caption

The crystal structure of topological Kondo insulator YbB12 and its insulating-to-magnetic transition are shown. On the right, acoustic phonons (sound vibrations) interact with particles near the Fermi energy, driving magnetoacoustic quantum oscillations.
