Modular Arithmetic with Nodal Lines: Drumhead Surface States in ZrSiTe

We study the electronic structure of the nodal line semimetal ZrSiTe both experimentally and theoretically. We find two different surface states in ZrSiTe—topological drumhead surface states and trivial floating band surface states, which can be easily distinguished in ARPES experiments. Using the s...
