Abstract

We consider a Weyl semimetal with two nodes and derive the scattering Hamiltonian in the presence of a boundary at z=0z=0. We compute the photoemission spectrum and demonstrate the presence of the Fermi arcs which connect the two nodes. In the presence of an electric field parallel to the scattering surface we observe the one dimensional chiral anomaly.
