The predicted gap opening in the surface state of topological insulators (TIs) induced by surface magnetic doping, and the associated novel electron phases, have recently caught strong interest of the scientific community. However, the experimental evidence of an induced gap opening is still controversial [1] and calls for a detailed investigation of the magnetism of different adatoms. Here, we show by a combined XMCD, ARPES and STS study, that Ni adatoms on the TI Bi₂Te₂Se reveal a surprising behaviour: While there is no detectable XMCD signal at the Ni L_2,3-edges, the XAS spectrum unveils a considerable resonant absorption of the d-shell. The results are analyzed by ab-initio calculations. [1] J. Honolka et al., PRL 108, 256811 (2012).
