Hysteretic Magnetotransport in SmB6 at Low Magnetic Fields
  Utilizing Corbino disc structures, we have examined the magnetic field response of resistivity for the surface states of SmB6 on different crystalline surfaces at low temperatures. Our results reveal a hysteretic behavior whose magnitude depends on the magnetic field sweep rate and temperature. Although this feature becomes smaller when the field sweep is slower, a complete elimination or saturation is not observed in our slowest sweep-rate measurements, which is much slower than a typical magnetotransport trace. These observations cannot be explained by quantum interference corrections such as weak anti-localization. Instead, they are consistent with behaviors of glassy surface magnetic ordering, whose magnetic origin is most likely from samarium oxide (Sm2O3) forming on the surface during exposure to ambient conditions.
