The study of electronic properties in topological systems is one the most fascinating topics condensed matter physics, which has generated enormous interests recent times. New materials are frequently being proposed and investigated to identify their non-trivial band structure. While sophisticated techniques such as angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy have become popular map energy-momentum relation, transport experiments lack any direct confirmation Dirac Weyl fermions a system.

Magnetic lanthanide half-Heuslers ($R\mathrm{PtBi}$; $R$ being the lanthanide) represent an attractive subgroup of Heusler family and have been identified as ideal candidates for time-reversal symmetry-breaking topological Weyl semimetals.

Furthermore, calculations confirm imposes gapless crossings...

By employing x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, we present a detailed study of the core level spectra LaTe3 in its charge density wave phase at room temperature. The analysis Te 3d spectrum by curve fitting using least square error minimization reveals that atoms exist two different states: Te-Te layer has valency −0.5, whereas atom La-Te −2. La shows three peaks for each spin orbit component, where main peak and satellite appear due to final states related transfer from ligand states.
