The monophosphides TaP and NbP belong the class of Weyl semi metals and exhibit a non centrosymmetric structure and sizable spin orbit coupling. A crossing of linearly dispersive topologically protected polarized bands at a single point in reciprocal space defines the Weyl
node where the fermion mass vanishes theoretically and a giant orbital hyperfine coupling is expected [1]. 181Ta quadrupole resonance(NQR) resolves three NQR lines associated with the split level transitions for the I = 7/2 Ta nuclear spin. The spin lattice relaxation violates the Korringa law and shows a pronounced (1/T1T) ∝ T2 behaviour [2] which is assigned to the magnetic excitations of the Weyl fermions, in agreement with theoretical predictions [1]. In addition we present first 93Nb NMR results from NbP single crystals. Here we investigated the anisotropic hyperfine interaction and the excitations of the I = 9/2 Nb nuclear spin.
