Description: 
Metal monochalcogenides (MXs) have attracted significant interest due to their unique electronic properties, which can be tuned by varying the thickness. Gallium sulfide (GaS) stands out among MX compounds for its potential in photocatalysis, thanks to its bandgap within the visible range. However, the theoretical predictions of its band structure have not been experimentally validated until now. To bridge this gap, we performed angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) measurements on bulk GaS to investigate its electronic band structure which revealed that the VBM is located at the Γ point, and from the analysis of isoenergy contours just below the Fermi level, the contours are relatively circular and centered around the Γ point indicating a high degree of isotropy and symmetry in the electronic states. Additionally, density functional theory (DFT) calculations revealed that the valence bands are …
