A new class of materials exhibiting non-symmorphic symmetry has generated great interest, due to the associated rich physics such as ultra high mobility, giant magneto-resistance and also it’s essential role in the discovery of new quasi particles beyond the usual Dirac, Weyl and Majorana fermions. Experimental analysis shows that the material ZrSiS, exhibits Dirac cones protected by non-symmorphic symmetry below the Fermi level [1]. A major requirement for pinning these non-symmorphic crossings at the Fermi level is a half filled band, which is quite difficult to achieve. A possible workaround could be the application of uniaxial tensile strain. In ZrSiS, this would be equivalent to substitution of S by Te, leading to the isostructural and isoelectronic compound ZrSiTe. Here we present the DFT bandstructure calculations and ARPES measurements performed on ZrSiTe, showing that it exhibits a Dirac line node on the Fermi level.
