Fig. 2. Bulk Weyl fermion cones in TaP.

Fig. 2

(A) SX-ARPES Fermi surface (FS) map at ky = 0 in the kzkx plane. (B) SX-ARPES Fermi surface map at kz = W2 in the kxky plane, showing the W2 Weyl nodes. EXP, experimental. (C) Theoretical calculation of the same slice of the BZ at the same energy shows complete agreement with the SX-ARPES measurement. THY, theoretical. (D) First-principles calculations of the energy-momentum dispersion of the two sets of Weyl nodes, W1 and W2, in TaP. The two nodes are offset in energy by 64 meV. (E and F) Energy dispersion maps, Ek//, for W1 and W2, respectively. (G and H) ARPES measured and theoretically calculated out-of-plane dispersion, Ekz, for W2, which shows the linear dispersion of the Weyl cone along the out-of-plane direction. All data in (A) to (G) are obtained from Batch I. (I) Energy dispersion of the W2 Weyl cones from a sample in Batch II. We see the ± Weyl nodes more clearly for Batch II TaP, as labeled in (I).
