Abstract:
A Weyl semimetal is a new matter state possessing Weyl fermions near the Fermi level with several unique physical properties and it is confirmed by the existence of Fermi arc surface states [1]. In this work we study tantalum arsenide (TaAs) which is a prototypical Weyl semimetal compound. The electronic structure properties have been studied by soft and hard X-ray angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) at energies of 440 eV and 2150 eV, respectively. For the first time, TaAs is experimentally investigated by the bulk sensitive photoemission in the hard X-ray regime. In order to interpret experimental data we performed one-step model of photoemission calculation which includes all matrix elements and final state effects [2,3,4]. Due to the strong photon momentum effects and uncertainty in the tilt of experimental geometry we used a so-called machine learning algorithm combined with a free-electron final-state model to find best possible experimental parameters. Our findings re-emphasize the overwhelming accuracy of hard X-ray ARPES (HARPES) compared to the traditional ultraviolet and soft X-ray one in case of bulk electronic structure, motivating further material discoveries [5].
