The interplay auf magnetism and topology gives rise to new topological quantum phases with broken time-reversal symmetry like the quantum anomalous Hall state.
Here we will present single-crystal measurements on the magnetic and electronic structure of MnBi2Te4 [1], a van der Waals bonded system composed of septuple layers stacked along its [0001]-axis. The layered structure results in a high accessibility for surface science methods, while its stochiometric nature leads to intrinsic magnetism without the need of free parameters like dopand concentration. By X-Ray magnetic circular dichroism, linear dichroism and bulk magnetization measurements we determine an out of plane A-type antiferromagnetic ordering below TN = 24 K. Angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy shows a massive Dirac-like state with an energy gap of ∼100 meV.
