By means of angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) measurements and density functional theory (DFT) calculations, the electronic band structure of the topological insulator PbBi4Te4Se3 for both five-layer and seven-layer surface terminations is investigated. The measured and calculated band structure features are in good agreement and indicate two well-resolved topological surface states with distinct spatial localizations within bulk band gap of about 0.3 eV.
