Band structures of (a) ZrTe, (c) WC, and (e) TaN without SOC. Those with SOC are correspondingly shown in panels (b), (d), and (f). The Fermi energy is set to 0 eV. (g) Band structure of ZrTe along the Γ–A line. Bands are labeled by their double group representations corresponding to D 3 h at Γ and A points and C 3 v on the Γ–A line. (h) and (i) Band structures in the (100) direction with kz tuned to the TPs G1 and G2, respectively. (j) and (k) Projected surface density of states (SDOS) for the (010) surface of ZrTe with (j) Zr and (k) Te termination. (l) and (m) The (010)-surface Fermi surface of ZrTe at E = 0 eV for (l) Zr and (m) Te termination. Figure reused from Ref. [21].
