With their first experimental observation in 2015, topological Weyl semimetals have attracted enormous attention: In these materials, the long sought-after Weyl fermions are realized as quasi-particle excitations in condensed matter [1]. Weyl semimetals feature an unusual electronic structure with touching points in the bulk band structure – the so-called Weyl points - that are connected by unique topological surface Fermi arcs. The key technique to gain access to these signatures is angle-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy (ARPES) [2,3].
Here, we present a combined photoemission and two-photon photoemission (2PPE) study of the type-II Weyl semimetal Td-WTe2. Using a widely tunable femtosecond laser system with photon energies between 1.3 eV and 5.0 eV, we are able to access a variety of both occupied and unoccupied electronic states. The results are discussed under consideration of band structure calculations and current ARPES studies of Td-WTe2.
