The discovery of topological states of matter has led to a revolution in materials research. When external or intrinsic parameters break certain symmetries, global properties of topological materials change drastically. A paramount example is the emergence of Weyl nodes under broken inversion symmetry, acting like magnetic monopoles in momentum space. In this talk, we demonstrate that under broken time-reversal symmetry open Fermi arcs appear at the surface of the complex magnet 2 ML Fe/W(110). Our spin- and orbital-resolved momentum microscopy experiments together with density functional theory give evidence that the Fermi-surface topology of the atomically thin ferromagnet is substantially modified by the hybridization with a heavy-metal substrate, giving rise to Fermi-surface discontinuities being bridged by the Fermi arcs. The hybridization points are attributed to a non-trivial “mixed” topology and induce hot spots in the Berry curvature, dominating spin and charge transport as well as magneto-electric coupling effects.
