Spin Texture in Type-II Weyl Semimetal WTe2 (1606.00085v2)
Published 1 Jun 2016 in cond-mat.mtrl-sci
Abstract: We determine the band structure and spin texture of WTe2 by spin- and angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (SARPES). With the support of first-principles calculations, we reveal the existence of spin polarization of both the Fermi arc surface states and bulk Fermi pockets. Our results support WTe2 to be a type-II Weyl semimetal candidate and provide important information to understand its extremely large and nonsaturating magnetoresistance.
