Abstract: A symmetry analysis of the band structure of monolayer black phosphorus (phosphorene) reveals the mechanism responsible for valence band distortion and possible lack of a true direct band gap. This theory should provide guidance for experiments on this new material, especially when single phosphorene layers can be made for device processing.
