Topological semimetals  are well known for the linear energy band dispersion in the bulk state and topologically protected surface state with arc-like Fermi surface. The angle resolved photoemission spectroscopy experiments help confirm the existence of linear Dirac (Weyl) cone and Fermi arc. Meanti...
