Interfaces between ferromagnetic and non-magnetic Bi2Se3 phases are studied as a material platform to investigate the influence of spin degrees of freedom on 3D topological insulator (TI) properties.

An inverted geometry of n quintuple layers (QLs) Bi2Se3 ontop of Mn-doped Bi2Se3 is achieved by molecular beam epitaxy for n=0 to n=24 QLs and allows to unhamperedly monitor the development of electronic and topological properties by surface sensitive key techniques like angular resolved photoemission spectroscopy. A gap at the Dirac point is observed at small n, which is gradually filled with increasing n. The Dirac point is fully reestablished at about n = 9 QLs. Band bending effects due to the proximity of the interface with the ferromagnetic layers are discussed.
