We investigated the electronic structure of -MoO bulk crystal in the whole Brillouin zone at a normal metallic state by utilizing resonant and angle-resolved photoelectron spectroscopies and first-principles calculations. Mo 4-4 resonant photoelectron experiment revealed that the Mo 4 electrons of MoO octahedra mainly contributed to the electrical conductivity. We also demonstrated that the free electron-like band dispersions along axis, consisting of Mo 4 electrons, do not show clear and dependences and formed a one-dimensional Fermi surface even at the normal state. The observed low-dimensional and anisotropic band structures are expected to induce exotic physical properties such as quantized bulk Hall effect, charge density wave transitions, and Luttinger liquid behavior.
