Popis: Angle-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy (ARPES) was used to investigate the electronic structure of 1 T -TiSe 2 single crystals with He I radiation ( ℏ ω = 21.22 eV) as a function of exposure to H 2 O at room temperature. A significant enhancement of the Ti 3d peak near the Fermi energy E F is observed and we find a small shift for the lowest conduction band and the uppermost valence bands to lower binding energies depending on the amount of adsorbate. We are able to undoubtedly determine 1 T -TiSe 2 as a small gap semiconductor, because the H 2 O adsorption onto the van der Waals-like surface causes a distinct band bending and an almost filled conduction band making the band gap now detectable for photoemission spectroscopy.
