properties of layered materials change as they are thinned
from their bulk forms down to single layers, with examples including
indirect-to-direct band gap transition in 2H semiconducting transition
metal dichalcogenides as well as thickness-dependent changes in the
valence band structure in post-transition-metal monochalcogenides
and black phosphorus. Here, we use angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy
to study the electronic band structure of monolayer ReSe2, a semiconductor with a distorted 1T structure and in-plane anisotropy.
By changing the polarization of incoming photons, we demonstrate that
for ReSe2, in contrast to the 2H materials, the out-of-plane
transition metal dz2 and chalcogen
pz orbitals do not contribute significantly
to the top of the valence band, which explains the reported weak changes
in the electronic structure of this compound as a function of layer
number. We estimate a band gap of 1.7 eV in pristine ReSe2 using scanning tunneling spectroscopy and explore the implications
on the gap following surface doping with potassium. A lower bound
of 1.4 eV is estimated for the gap in the fully doped case, suggesting
that doping-dependent many-body effects significantly affect the electronic
properties of ReSe2. Our results, supported by density
functional theory calculations, provide insight into the mechanisms
behind polarization-dependent optical properties of rhenium dichalcogenides
and highlight their place among two-dimensional crystals.
