In this communication, we report surface state, with Rashba impurities, of a generic topological Kondo insulator (TKI) system by performing a mean-field theoretic (MFT) calculation within the framework of slave-boson protocol. The surface metallicity together with bulk insulation is found to require very strong f-electron localization. The possibility of intra-band as well as inter-band unconventional plasmons exists for the surface state spectrum. The paramountcy of the bulk metallicity, and, in the presence of the Rashba impurities, the TKI surface comprising of ‘helical liquids’ are the important outcomes of the present communication. The access to the gapless Dirac spectrum leads to spin-plasmons with the usual wave vector dependence q1/2. The Rashba coupling does not impair the Kondo screening and does not affect the quantum critical point (QCP) for the bulk. |
