Recently, MnBi2Te4 has been established as the first antiferromagnetic (AFM) topological insulator [1,2], and represents the n=0 member of the layered series (Bi2Te3)n(MnBi2Te4). For n=1, we confirm a non-stoichiometric composition proximate to MnBi4Te7, and featuring an AFM state below 13 K, followed by a state with net out-of-plane magnetization below 5 K [3].
Here we present the spectroscopic signatures of these magnetic topological phases by means of angle-resolved photoemission (ARPES) and X-ray magnetic linear and circular dichroism (XMLD/XMCD) experiments on MnBi2Te4 and MnBi4Te7 single crystals. Both compounds reveal topologically non-trivial Dirac surface states on the (0001) surface, providing a versatile platform for the realization of magnetic topological states of matter.
