Giant spin splitting of monolayer WSe2 is an interesting element both for spintronics and topological phenomena. Here, we present electronic and structural properties of few-layer WSe2 grown by hybrid pulsed-laser deposition. Angle-resolved, ultraviolet and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy reveal the band structure of monolayer WSe2 including strong spin-orbit splitting, as well as clarify the band alignment between WSe2 and the underlying graphene/SiC substrate, indicating electron transfer from graphene to WSe2. To access the valence bands in transport, hole-doping of few-layer WSe2 has been performed using Nb as a dopant. The Hall effect and transport measurements confirmed the expected density of hole carriers, and associated metallic conduction down to low temperatures for optimal films. Synchrotron X-ray diffraction sheds further light on structure-property relationships, in particular strain effects in the WSe2 layer.
