Three-dimensional Dirac semimetals, which accommodate massless Dirac or Weyl fermions, show exotic physical properties, e.g. an extremely high mobility and giant magnetoresistance. Compounds that contain non-symmorphic symmetries are especially interesting, because they exibit band crossings that are not affected by SOC. ZrSiS, hosting a square lattice of Si atoms, exhibits normal, as well as, non-symmorphically protected 3D Dirac crossings below and above the Fermi level [1]. Pinning these non-symmorphic crossings to the Fermi level can be difficult, since it requires a material with a half-filled band, that is usually not stable. Upon replacing S with Te, the resulting chemical uniaxial strain shifts the position of the non-symmorphic crossing. Here, we present ARPES data and DFT calculations confirming that the non-symmorphic crossing is located at the Fermi level in ZrSiTe, making this compound a strong candidate to investigate the effect of forced band degeneracies on transport properties.
