Abstract
The recent discovery of Fermi arcs and new magnetic bands splitting in antiferromagnet NdBi has opened up new avenues for exploration. This study shows that these uncharted effects are not restricted to NdBi, but also emerge in other rare-earth monopnictides. Also, it shows that the relative intensity of the new bands and splitting of these bands scale with the magnetic moments of the rare-earth elements.
