Abstract

${\mathrm{Co}}_{3}{\mathrm{Sn}}_{2}{\mathrm{S}}_{2}$ is a magnetic Weyl semimetal, in which ferromagnetic ordering at 177 K is predicted to stabilize Weyl points. We perform temperature and spatial dependent angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy measurements through the Curie temperature (${T}_{c}$), which show large band shifts and renormalization concomitant with the onset of magnetism. We argue that ${\mathrm{Co}}_{3}{\mathrm{Sn}}_{2}{\mathrm{S}}_{2}$ evolves from a Mott ferromagnet below ${T}_{c}$ to a correlated metallic state above ${T}_{c}$. To understand the magnetism, we derive a tight-binding model of Co-$3{d}_{{x}^{2}\ensuremath{-}{y}^{2}}$ orbitals on the kagome lattice. At the filling obtained by first-principles calculations, this model reproduces the ferromagnetic ground state, and results in the reduction of Coulomb interactions due to cluster effects. Using a disordered local moment simulation, we show how this reduced Hubbard $U$ leads to a collapse of the bands across the magnetic transition, resulting in a correlated state, which carries associated characteristic photoemission signatures that are distinct from those of a simple lifting of exchange splitting. The behavior of topology across ${T}_{c}$ is discussed in the context of this description of the magnetism.
