In light of several theoretical predictions regarding the so-called square tellurene [1, 2], the growth and the electronic structure of Te deposited on a Au(100) surface is reported. At a coverage of 1/4 monolayer, Te forms a p(2×2) square lattice of adatoms on Au(100) as determined by a thorough LEED-IV characterization (R_P = 0.085) and STM. Utilizing angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy and density functional theory an interface-like state with mixed Te p_x,y and Au d orbital character is identified in addition to a complex multitude of backfolded bands of the substrate. Vastly differing Rashba parameters along the XG and XM lines cannot be explained within an (anisotropic) Rashba picture. The spin splitting rather depends on the momentum space texture of the atomic orbitals. Our work may stimulate further experimental explorations of symmetry and topology effects in 2D square-lattice systems. [1] Xian et al., 2D Mater. 4, 041003, (2017)
