We report the local observation of the band structure of topological surface states in Bi1.5Sb0.5Te1.7Se1.3 using scanning tunneling microscopy/spectroscopy (STM/STS). The energy-momentum dispersion relation is locally deduced by extracting the Landau level (LL) energies, which are formed in a high magnetic field, from the STS data. Spatial variation of LLs revealed a shift of the Dirac point energy at the nanometer scale. The structure of the potential fluctuation was not correlated with the topography, which indicated that the Te/Se substitution did not induce the potential shift because of their same valence. The results show that disorders from the Te/Se substitution at the surface do not induce any localized charged states and do not affect topological surface states.
