In this work we study the effects of in-plane magnetic fields on thin films of the Dirac Semimetal (DSM) Na<sub>3</sub>Bi where one of the in-plane directions is perpendicular to the k-separation between the two Weyl nodes that exist for each spin orientation. We show numerically that the states localized near the surfaces of these thin films are related to the Fermi arc states in semi-infinite slabs. Due to the anisotropy between the two in-plane directions, the application of a magnetic field ...[more]
