Weyl semimetals have raised a lot of interest lately due to their interesting exotic surface states. TaIrTe4, belonging to the recently introduced class of type-II Weyl semimetals, hosts 4 Weyl points. These are well separated in the Brillouin zone and connected by rather long and parralel Fermi Arcs, making the material especially interesting for further research and future applications. In this work we find direct correspondence between theoretical predictions and ARPES results for both bulk and the surface states. Remarkably, these surface states are spin polarized, highlighting the potential for novel applications.
