(color online) ARPES maps and DFT calculations of the electronic structure of 6-layer PdTe₂ films. (a) Fermi surface map at photon energy of 21.2 eV. (b) Band structure measured along high symmetry directions. Red dashed lines on the top of photoemission image highlight the Dirac-cone surface state. (c) Calculated surface state of 6-layer PdTe₂ film by DFT calculations. Orange line refers to bulk state, while blue line represents surface state.
