In this work, we study the matrix element effect of the ARPES intensity to deduce k-space initial state orbital texture featuring different symmetries in type-II Dirac semimetal PtTe2. Our spin- and angle-resolved photoemission data were augmented by the one-step model of the photoemission within the spin-polarized relativistic Korringa-Kohn-Rostoker (SPR-KKR) Green’s function method of the Munich band structure software package. In order to extract information about the different contributions to the resulting spectral weight and spin-polarization, the matrix element used in our one-step model of photoemission calculations includes all experimental parameters such as photon energy, light polarization and geometry configurations. Via such control over the experimental parameters, in order to investigate the orbital wavefunction above and below the Dirac point, we performed polarization-dependent ARPES calculations where we varied the angle of the crystal mirror plane with respect to the experimental mirror plane.
