Quasiparticle interference evidence of the topological Fermi arc states in chiral fermionic semimetal CoSi

Chiral fermions in solid state feature “Fermi arc” states, connecting the surface projections of the bulk chiral nodes. The surface Fermi arc is a signature of nontrivial bulk topology. Unconventional chiral fermions with an extensive Fermi arc traversing the whole Brillouin zone have been theoretically proposed in CoSi. Here, we use scanning tunneling microscopy/spectroscopy to investigate quasiparticle interference at various terminations of a...
