Here, we have performed a systematic high-momentum-resolution photoemission study on ZrTe₅ using 6-eV photon energy. We have measured the band structure near the Γ point, and quantified the gap between the conduction and valence band as 18 ≤ Δ ≤ 29 meV. We have also observed photon-energy-dependent behavior attributed to final-state effects and the three-dimensional (3D) nature of the material's band structure. Our interpretation indicates the gap is intrinsic and reconciles discrepancies on the existence of a topological surface state reported by different studies. The existence of a gap suggests that ZrTe₅ is not a 3D strong topological insulator nor a 3D Dirac semimetal. Therefore, our experiment is consistent with ZrTe₅ being a 3D weak topological insulator.
