  Unusual electronic property of a Weyl semi-metallic nanowire is revealed. Its
band dispersion exhibits multiple subbands of partially flat dispersion,
originating from the Fermi arc states. Remarkably, the lowest energy flat
subbands bear a finite size energy gap, implying that electrons in the Fermi
arc surface states are susceptible of the spin Berry phase. This is shown to be
a consequence of spin-to-surface locking in the surface electronic states. We
verify this behavior and the existence of spin Berry phase in the low-energy
effective theory of Fermi arc surface states on a cylindrical nanowire by
deriving the latter from a bulk Weyl Hamiltonian. We point out that in any
surface state exhibiting a spin Berry phase pi, a zero-energy bound state is
formed along a magnetic flux tube of strength, hc/(2e). This effect is
highlighted in a surfaceless bulk system pierced by a dislocation line, which
shows a 1D chiral mode along the dislocation line.
