Extended Data Fig. 4: Link ‘depth’ of the Weyl loops.

a–c, Distance between the extrema of the Weyl loops and the bulk Brillouin zone W points for the M1, M2 and M3 Weyl loops. We estimate s1 = 0.32 ± 0.1 Å−1, s2 = 0.27 ± 0.1 Å−1 and s3 = 0.29 ± 0.1 Å−1. d, The link depth captures how far in momentum space one would need to slide the Weyl loops in order to unlink them, providing a measure of the stability of the link. Based on the loop Fermi surfaces (a–c), we estimate d12 = 0.58 ± 0.14 Å−1, d23 = 0.55 ± 0.14 Å−1 and d31 = 0.60 ± 0.14 Å−1. The average gives a typical link depth extracted from ARPES, davg = 0.58 ± 0.08 Å−1. e, Energy-momentum slice along the high-symmetry path X1 − X2 from DFT, passing through two linked Weyl loops. We obtain dDFT = 0.68 Å−1.
