| contents | We use high resolution angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) and density functional theory (DFT) to investigate the electronic structure of trigonal phase ${\rm PtBi_2}$ (t-${\rm PtBi_2}$), a proposed Weyl semimetal that is expected to exhibit topological Fermi Arcs. Our ARPES data elucidates the topography of these objects and confirms their Fermi arc character. The arcs are formed by surface bands that have fairly flat bottom located very close to the chemical potential $\sim$ 6-8 meV, before they merge with bulk bands at higher binding energy. Comparison of the ARPES data with DFT calculations shows good agreement about their location and topography. Data acquired at low temperatures does not show any signatures of superconductivity down to 3 K in terms of expected changes in dispersion due to formation of Bogoliubov quasiparticles or superconducting gap in form of reliable shifts of peaks in energy distribution curves. |
