abstract = {Topologically nontrivial states reveal themselves in
strongly spin-orbit coupled systems by Dirac cones. However,
their appearance is not a sufficient criterion for a
topological phase. In topological insulators, where these
states protect surface metallicity, they are
straightforwardly assigned based on bulk-boundary
correspondence. On metals, where these states are suspected
to have tremendous impact as well, e.g., in catalysis, their
topological protection is difficult to assess due to the
lacking band gap and the frequent assignment to topological
properties appears unjustified. Here, we discover by
angle-resolved photoemission a state with the dispersion of
a Dirac cone at a low-symmetry point of W(110). Our ab
initio calculations predict this feature with a linear band
crossing and high spin polarization. However, instead of
being born by topology, the states arise from Rashba split
bands and do not fundamentally depend on the opening of a
spin-orbit gap. On the other hand, we find that the [001]
mirror plane protects the band crossing point and
renormalizes the dispersion towards a Dirac-cone shape. In
this sense, the discovered state is the metal counterpart of
the surface state of a topological crystalline insulator.
The Dirac cone is tilted due to its origin in an accidental
band crossing away from high symmetry points. Tilted Dirac
cones have recently been predicted for two- and
three-dimensional materials and were observed in
three-dimensional Weyl semimetals. Accordingly, the
protection and renormalization by mirror symmetry uncovered
here are a potentially much wider spread phenomenon which
does not require topological properties. Our results also
indicate why the massive gapless crossing predicted for
topological crystalline insulators has never been observed.},
