Calculated band structure, density of states, and Fermi surface of PdTe₂ with and without considering the spin–orbit coupling. (a1)–(a3) Calculated band structure of PdTe₂ without the spin–orbit coupling. (b1)–(b3) Calculated band structure of PdTe₂ with the spin–orbit coupling. The band character calculations with Pd 4d states ((a2), (b2)) and Te 5p states ((a3), (b3)) highlighted are shown, respectively. Each state is drawn by a dot whose radius is proportional to the specified character of the state. (c) and (d) Calculated density of state without and with the spin–orbit coupling. (e) and (f) Calculated three-dimensional Fermi surface of PdTe₂ without and with the spin–orbit coupling.
