| contents | Fermi-arc surface states of Weyl semimetals exhibit a unique combination of localization to a surface and connectivity to the bulk Weyl fermions that can move along the localization direction. We predict anomalous quantum-oscillation signatures of Fermi arcs in the tunnel mangetoconductance across an interface between two Weyl semimetals. These oscillations stem from a momentum-space analog of Aharonov-Bohm interference of electrons moving along the interface Fermi arcs, driven by an external magnetic field normal to the interface. The Fermi arcs' connectivity to the bulk enables their characterization via transport normal to the interface, while their localization manifests in a strong field-angle anisotropy of the oscillations. This combination distinguishes these anomalous oscillations from conventional Shubnikov-de Haas oscillations and makes them identifiable even in complex oscillation spectra of real materials. |
