Strongly correlated kagome magnets are promising candidates for achieving controllable topological devices owing to the rich interplay between inherent Dirac fermions and correlation-driven magnetism. Here we report tunable local magnetism and its intriguing control of topological electronic response near room temperature in the kagome magnet Fe₃Sn₂ using small angle neutron scattering, muon spin rotation, and magnetoresistivity measurement techniques.

We report muon spin rotation and magnetization measurements under pressure on Fe_1+δSe_1−xS_x with x ≈ 0.11. Above p ≈ 0.6 GPa we find a microscopic coexistence of superconductivity with an extended dome of long range magnetic order that spans a pressure range between previously reported separated magnetic phases. 

Recently, the transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) system 2M-WS₂ has been identified as a Dirac semimetal exhibiting both superconductivity with the highest T_c ~ 8.5 K among all the TMD materials and topological surface states. Here we report on muon spin rotation (μSR) and density functional theory studies of microscopic SC properties and the electronic structure in 2M-WS₂ at ambient and under hydrostatic pressures (p_max = 1.9 GPa).
