Spin momentum locking of surface states has attracted great interest due to potential applications in spintronics. Normal metal surfaces like W(110) and Ir(111) show surface states with energy dispersions and spin-polarization structures, which are reminiscent of topological surface states. In order to understand this phenomenon the connection of bulk and surfaces states has to be explored. Using time-of-flight momentum microscopy [1], we measured bulk bands with soft X-ray excitation within the first 3D Brillouin zone. Surface states are determined by the same method at low photon energy. The comparison of the results reveals the hosting of surface states within the gap topology of bulk bands projected on the surface Brillouin zone. [1] D. Kutnyakhov et al., Sci. Rep. 6, 29394 (2016).
