Kagome metals house a range of competing ground states leading to superconducting as well as topological features and so there has been significant recent interest in their underlying physics. Here, the authors use muon-spin rotation to identify slow fluctuations and low-temperature volume-wise magnetic evolution of the static c-axis ferrimagnetic patches in TbMn6Sn6, which seems to be intimately coupled to its topological electronic properties.
