| الوصف: | The Fermi arcs are signatures of exotic states in solids because they defy conventional concept of Fermi surfaces as closed contours in momentum space. Fermi arcs were first discovered in cuprates, and caused by the pseudogap. Weyl semimetals provided another way to generate Fermi arcs by breaking either the time reversal symmetry (TRS) or inversion symmetry of a 3D Dirac semimetal, which can result in a Weyl semimetal with pairs of Weyl nodes that have opposite chirality. The bulk-boundary correspondence associated with the Chern number leads to the emergence of Fermi arcs on the boundary. Here, we present experimental evidence that pairs of magnetically split hole- and electron-like Fermi arcs emerge below the Neel temperature, in the antiferromagnetic (AFM) state of cubic NdBi due to a novel band splitting effect. Whereas TRS is broken by the AFM order, both inversion and nonsymmorphic TRS are preserved in the bulk, precluding the possibility of a Weyl semimetal. The observed magnetic splitting is highly unusual, as it creates bands of opposing curvature, that changes with temperature and follows the antiferromagnetic order parameter. This is completely different from previously reported cases of magnetic splittings such as traditional Zeeman and Rashba, where the curvature of the bands is preserved. Therefore, our finding represents a new Fermionic state created by new type of magnetic band splitting in the presence of a long-range AFM order that are not readily explained by existing theoretical ideas.
