The Dirac cone at the surface of a magnetic topological insulator is expected to open a band gap when ferromagnetically magnetized perpendicularly to the surface plane. Angle-resolved photoemission from epitaxial films of (Bi1−xMnx)2Se3 shows for x > 0.02 a band gap at the Dirac point of a size that varies with Mn concentration, is much larger than theoretically predicted (∼100 meV), and does not change with temperature from 7 to 300 K. Based on our measurements with x-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD) we can exclude that the surface band gap is due to ferromagnetic order in the bulk or at the surface. In addition, we investigate by XMCD in photoemission microscopy the reported proximity magnetization induced by a ferromagnetic overlayer.
