Abstract
Weyl semimetals are crystalline solids that host emergent relativistic
Weyl fermions and have characteristic surface Fermi-arcs in their
electronic structure. Weyl semimetals with broken time reversal symmetry
are difficult to identify unambiguously. In this work, using
angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy, we visualized the electronic
structure of the ferromagnetic crystal $Co_3Sn_2S_2$ and discovered its
characteristic surface Fermi-arcs and linear bulk band dispersions
across the Weyl points. These results establish $Co_3Sn_2S_2$ as a magnetic
Weyl semimetal that may serve as a platform for realizing phenomena such
as chiral magnetic effects, unusually large anomalous Hall effect and
quantum anomalous Hall effect.
