摘要 (Abstract) :Magnetic kagome materials provide a unique platform for exploring magneto-transport phenomena, symmetry breaking, and charge ordering driven by the intricate interplay among electronic structure, topology, and magnetism. Herein, we introduce a new design strategy for interweaving quasi-1D magnetic Tb zigzag chains with nonmagnetic Ti-based kagome bilayers in TbTi3Bi4. Neutron diffraction, spin-polarized scanning tunneling spectroscopy, and angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy analyses confirm that the interwoven structure exhibits a coexistent elliptical spiral magnetic order, a spin-density wave, and an unusually large band-folding gap. The combined unique magnetic and electronic state leads to a giant anomalous Hall conductivity of 10⁵ Ω⁻¹cm⁻¹. These results establish TbTi3Bi4 as a model system of magnetic kagome metals with strong electron–magnetic interactions [1].
