The recent discovery of unconventional surface-state pairs, which give rise to Fermi arcs and spin textures, in antiferromagnetically ordered NdBi raised the interest in rare-earth monopnictides. Several scenarios of antiferromagnetic (AFM) order have been suggested to explain the origin of these states with some of them being consistent with the presence of nontrivial topologies. Here, in this paper, we use angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) and density-functional-theory (DFT) calculations to investigate the electronic structure of NdSb. We found the presence of distinct domains that have different electronic structures at the surface. These domains correspond to different orientations of magnetic moments in the AFM state with respect to the surface. We demonstrated remarkable agreement between DFT calculations and ARPES that capture all essential changes in the band structure caused by the transition to a magnetically ordered state.
