Materials combining topological surface states and intrinsic magnetism have gained great attention due to the possibility to be a platform to host tunable topological matter. Here we characterized topographically and spectroscopically two possible candidates through scanning tunneling microscopy. The studied compounds are Bi2Te3-derivatives with periodic Mn sub-lattices, i.e. MnBi2Te4 and MnBi4Te7. The two sample-types are composed on the one hand by only septuple layers (MnBi2Te4), and on the other hand by alternation of Bi2Te3-quintuple and septuple layers (MnBi4Te7). Single crystals of the van der Waals layered materials have been cleaved in cryogenic vacuum at 5 K and subsequently measured. Different characteristic surfaces were identified and spectroscopic data for the different materials and surfaces will be discussed.
