摘要:

1929年,H. Weyl提出Dirac方程的无质量解代表一对新型粒子,即Weyl费米子[1]。然而,它们在粒子物理学中的存在仍然难以捉摸了80多年。最近,拓扑绝缘体和拓扑半金属的重大进展提供了另一种方式来实现外尔费米子在凝聚态中作为一种涌现现象:当两个非简并带在三维动量空间中的费米能量附近交叉(称为外尔节点)时,低能激发行为与外尔费米子完全相同。在这里,通过进行软X射线角分辨光电子能谱测量,主要探测体能带结构,我们直接观察到长期追求的Weyl节点在TaAs中的第一次,其投影位置在(001)表面匹配费米弧,提供了无可争议的实验证据的存在Weyl费米子准粒子在TaAs中。

英文摘要:

In 1929, H. Weyl proposed that the massless solution of Dirac equation represents a pair of new type particles, the so-called Weyl fermions [1]. However the existence of them in particle physics remains elusive for more than eight decades. Recently, significant advances in both topological insulators and topological semimetals have provided an alternative way to realize Weyl fermions in condensed matter as an emergent phenomenon: when two non-degenerate bands in the three-dimensional momentum space cross in the vicinity of Fermi energy (called as Weyl nodes), the low energy excitation behaves exactly the same as Weyl fermions. Here, by performing soft x-ray angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy measurements which mainly probe bulk band structure, we directly observe the long-sought-after Weyl nodes for the first time in TaAs, whose projected locations on the (001) surface match well to the Fermi arcs, providing undisputable experimental evidence of existence of Weyl fermion quasiparticles in TaAs.
