Black phosphorous is a semiconductor that is gaining interest due to its tunable bandgap, which is thought to lead to an anisotropic Dirac semimetal upon critical doping with alkalis. Therefore this material could prove relevant to electronic and optoelectronic devices. Here we study the effect of potassium doping on bulk black phosphorous that leads to an elliptical electron-like pocket appearing. The nature of these bands is deduced using the k_z dispersion acquired by means of angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES). Curiously, at high levels of potassium deposition, electron-like states emerge below the Fermi level that have not previously been reported.
