Title: Experimental observation of drumhead surface states in SrAs3

Abstract

The topological nodal-line semimetal (TNS) is a unique class of material with a one dimensional line node accompanied by a nearly dispersionless two-dimensional sur- face state. However, a direct observation of the so called drumhead surface state within current nodal-line materials is still elusive. Here, using high-resolution angle- resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) along with first-principles calculations, we report the observation of a topological nodal-loop (TNL) in SrAs3, whereas CaAs3 exhibits topologically trivial state. Our data reveal that surface projections of the bulk nodal-points are connected by clear drumhead surface states in SrAs3. Furthermore, our magneto-transport and magnetization data clearly suggest the presence (absence) of surface state in SrAs3 (CaAs3). Notably, the observed topological states in RAs3 (R = Ca, Sr) are well separated from other bands in the vicinity of the Fermi level. RAs3, thus, offers a unique opportunity to realize an archetype nodal-loop semimetal and establish a platform for gaining a deeper understanding of the quantum phase transitions.
