NbNiTe2 and TaNiTe2 are layered van-der-Waals systems. While NbNiTe2 was discussed as a Weyl-semimetal candidate lately [1,2], TaNiTe2 (space group #53, Pmna) is predicted to be a topological insulator with non-symmorphic crystal structure, characterized by a topological inavriant of Z4 = 1, that have rarely been studied experimentally up to now [3].
In this study we investigated the electronic structure of TaNiTe2 by means of angle-resolved photoemission (ARPES) experiments and first-principles calculations. Systematic photon-energy- and polarization-dependent measurements allow us to disentangle the highly complex band structure. Furthermore, we discuss indications for the presence of a topological surface state.
