Abstract:
The "hydrogen atom" of magnetic Weyl semimetals, with the minimum number of Weyl points, has received growing attention recently due to the possible presence of Weyl-related phenomena. Here, we report a nontrivial electronic structure of the ferromagnetic alluaudite-type compound K_{2}Mn_{3}(AsO_{4})_{3}. It exhibits only a pair of Weyl points constrained in the z direction by the twofold rotation symmetry, leading to extremely long Fermi arc surface states. In addition, the study of its low-energy effective model results in the discovery of various topological superconducting states, such as the hydrogen atom of a Weyl superconductor. Our Letter provides a feasible platform to explore the intrinsic properties related to Weyl points, and the related device applications.

Colors and Magnetism
When atoms or molecules absorb light at the proper frequency, their electrons are excited to higher-energy orbitals. For many main group atoms and molecules, the absorbed photons are in the ultraviolet range of the electromagnetic spectrum, which cannot be detected by the human eye. For coordination compounds, the energy difference between the d orbitals often allows photons in the visible range to be absorbed and emitted, which is seen as colors by the human...
