We have explored Kramers spin non-degenerate states in MnTe by investigating the spin-polarized electronic structure of MnTe by means of one-step model Angle Resolved photoemission (ARPES) calculations within the fully relativistic multiple scattering Korringa-Kohn-Rostoker Green function approach. ARPES spectral weight related to non-symmorphic symmetry and signatures corresponding to the surface resonance contributions from Te and Mn states at respective binding energies were identified. Excellent agreement between theory and experiments reveals that the spin splitting stems from the local crystal anisotropy without requiring strong electronic correlations[1].
