Two peculiar types of electronic dispersive structures, irreproducible in bulk band calculations, have been observed in quasi-one-dimensional TlSe studied by angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy. One is of the cross type centered at the Γ point and extending along the Γ-H-T direction parallel to the chains, which are formed along the crystallographic c-axis. The other is of the pyramid type with truncated pyramids regularly arranged along the Γ-N direction perpendicular to the chains. To an extent given by the obtained excitation photon energy dependence, the above electronic structures can be assigned to high-lying surface conduction bands resulting from secondary electron emission.
