Synchrotron-based angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy is used to determine the electronic structure of layered SnSe, which was recently turned out to be a potential thermoelectric material. We observe that the top of the valence band consists of two nearly independent hole bands, whose tops differ by ~20 meV in energy, indicating the necessity of a multivalley model to describe the thermoelectric properties. The estimated effective masses are anisotropic, with in-plane values of 0.16-0.39 m$_0$ and an out-of-plane value of 0.71 m$_0$, where m$_0$ is the rest electron mass. Information of the electronic structure is essential to further enhance the thermoelectric performance of hole-doped SnSe.
IV-VI semiconductor SnSe has been known as the material with record high thermoelectric performance.The multiple close-to-degenerate valence bands in the electronic band structure has been one of the key factors contributing to the high power factor
The success of black phosphorus in fast electronic and photonic devices is hindered by its rapid degradation in presence of oxygen. Orthorhombic tin selenide is a representative of group IV-VI binary compounds that are robust, isoelectronic, and shar
We analyze the influence of the Mg concentration on several important properties of the band structure of ZnMgO alloys in wurtzite structure using ab initio calculations. For this purpose, the band structure for finite concentrations is defined in te
By using angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES), the variation of the electronic structure of HfSe$_2$ has been studied as a function of sodium intercalation. We observe how this drives a band splitting of the p-orbital valence bands and a
Excellent thermoelectric performance in the out-of-layer n-doped SnSe has been observed experimentally (Chang et al., Science 360, 778-783 (2018)). However, a first-principles investigation of the dominant scattering mechanisms governing all thermoel
