Three-dimensional electronic structure in ferromagnetic $\textrm{Fe}_3\textrm{Sn}_2$ with breathing kagome bilayer

A large anomalous Hall effect (AHE) has been observed in ferromagnetic $\textrm{Fe}_3\textrm{Sn}_2$ with breathing kagome bilayers. To understand the underlying mechanism for this, we investigate the electronic structure of $\textrm{Fe}_3\textrm{Sn}_2$ by angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES). In particular, we use both of vacuum ultraviolet and soft X-ray, which allow surface- and bulk-sensitive measurements respectively, and distinguish bulk states from surface contributions unrelated to the AHE. In contrast to surface-sensitive ARPES with vacuum ultraviolet light, our bulk-sensitive ARPES with soft X-ray reveals three-dimensional band dispersions with a periodicity of the rhombohedral unit cell in the bulk. Our data show a good consistency with a theoretical prediction based on density functional theory, suggesting a possibility that $\textrm{Fe}_3\textrm{Sn}_2$ is a magnetic Weyl semimetal.
