摘要
We investigate the electronic structure of NbGeSb with non-symmorphic symmetry.We employ angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy(ARPES)to observe and identify the bulk and surface states over the Brillouin zone.By utilizing high-energy photons,we identify the bulk Fermi surface and bulk nodal line along the direction X–R,while the Fermi surface of the surface state is observed by using low-energy photons.We observe the splitting of surface bands away from the high-symmetry point X.The density functional theory calculations on bulk and 1 to 5-layer slab models,as well as spin textures of NbGeSb,verify that the band splitting could be attributed to the Rashba-like spin–orbit coupling caused by space-inversion-symmetry breaking at the surface.These splitted surface bands cross with each other,forming two-dimensional Weyl-like crossings that are protected by mirror symmetry.Our findings provide insights into the two-dimensional topological and symmetry-protected band inversion of surface states.
