ABSTRACT

TaAs is an ideal Weyl semi-metal consisting of conducting surface states composed of massless Weyl fermions. We have investigated the effects of Nb doping in bulk TaAs. For TaAs/Au and TaAs/Ag interfaces, we have observed huge hole doping to the TaAs system. In addition, the introduced carriers impart a large spin polarization within otherwise non-spin-polarized TaAs.
