contents Kagome magnets with diverse topological quantum responses are crucial for next-generation topological engineering. The anisotropic magnetism and band evolution induced by ferromagnetic phase transition (FMPT) is reported in a newly discovered titanium-based kagome ferromagnet S mTi3 Bi4, which features a distorted Ti kagome lattice and S m atomic zig-zag chains. Temperature-dependent resistivity, heat capacity, and magnetic susceptibility reveal a ferromagnetic ordering temperature Tc of 23.2 K. A large magnetic anisotropy, observed by applying the magnetic field along three crystallographic axes, identifies the b axis as the easy axis. Angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy with first-principles calculations unveils the characteristic kagome motif, including the Dirac point at the Fermi level and multiple van Hove singularities. Notably, a band splitting and gap closing attributed to FMPT is observed, originating from the exchange coupling between S m 4 f local moments and itinerant electrons of the kagome Ti atoms, as well as the time-reversal symmetry breaking induced by the long-range ferromagnetic order. Considering the large in-plane magnetization and the evolution of electronic structure under the influence of ferromagnetic ordering, such materials promise to be a new platform for exploring the intricate electronic properties and magnetic phases based on the kagome lattice.
