(a1–a6) Bulk band structure calculations of the \(\textrm{Mn}_{1-x} \textrm{Ge}_x \textrm{Bi}_2 \textrm{Te}_4\) primitive cell in the \(\bar{K}\! \varGamma \!Z\) direction for different Ge concentrations up to 75%. Blue (red) points indicate that the Bi \(p_z\) orbital contribution at that point is greater (lesser) than the corresponding Te \(p_z\) contribution. (b1–b6) Bulk-projected band structures along the \(\bar{K}\!\bar{ \varGamma }\!\bar{M}\) direction (projection is along \(\varGamma \!Z\)) for the same Ge concentrations. The EDC profiles at the \(\Gamma\) point are shown as red curves.
