Electronic structure of topological quantum materials probed by angle-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy by Schröter, N

“…Yet, despite multiple theoretical proposals and experimental reports, "smoking-gun" evidence for the existence of a weak topological phase is still elusive. Here, by performing ARPES measurements for the surface states of two distinct crystal surfaces, we can conclusively confirm the existence of a weak topological phase in the semimetal TaSb2, which may be related to its negative longitudinal magnetoresistance. …”
