We investigate the intercalation of epoxy resin into a Weyl semimetal, WTe_{2}, by using a scanning tunneling microscopy. We show that intercalant molecules have self-similar height variations with the silver-mean quasiperiodicity and also that they create phason and soliton defects to yield a mean coherence length of 15 sequential order. In addition, we unravel that weak quasiperiodic potentials imposed by the intercalation layer drive a WTe_{2} surface to have an enhanced conductance near the Fermi level while keeping its semimetal phase, providing a direct verification of theoretical prediction.

Abstract

We investigate the intercalation of epoxy resin into a Weyl semimetal, WTe_{2}, by using a scanning tunneling microscopy. We show that intercalant molecules have self-similar height variations with the silver-mean quasiperiodicity and also that they create phason and soliton defects to yield a mean coherence length of 15 sequential order. In addition, we unravel that weak quasiperiodic potentials imposed by the intercalation layer drive a WTe_{2} surface to have an enhanced conductance near the Fermi level while keeping its semimetal phase, providing a direct verification of theoretical prediction.
