Abstract
We show that hole states in recently discovered single-layer InSe are strongly renormalized by the coupling with acoustic phonons. The coupling is enhanced significantly at moderate hole doping () due to hexagonal warping of the Fermi surface. While the system remains dynamically stable, its electron-phonon spectral function exhibits sharp low-energy resonances, leading to the formation of satellite quasiparticle states near the Fermi energy. Such many-body renormalization is predicted to have two important consequences. First, it significantly suppresses charge carrier mobility reaching at 100 K in a freestanding sample. Second, it gives rise to unusual temperature-dependent optical excitations in the midinfrared region. Relatively small charge carrier concentrations and realistic temperatures suggest that these excitations may be observed experimentally.
