Here, by using angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy, we showed that Bi_2−xCr_xSe₃ single crystals have a distinctly well-defined band structure with a large bulk band gap and undistorted topological surface states. These spectral features are unlike their thin film forms in which a large nonmagnetic gap with a distorted band structure was reported. We further provide laser-based high resolution photoemission data which reveal a Dirac point gap even in the pristine sample. The gap becomes more pronounced with Cr doping into the bulk of Bi₂Se₃. These observations show that the Dirac point can be modified by the magnetic impurities as well as the light source.
