The kagome lattice is a two-dimensional network of corner-sharing triangles known as a platform for exotic quantum magnetic states. Theoretical work has predicted that the kagome lattice may also host exotic Dirac electronic states including those with non-trivial topology. We here present our recent work in conducting, layered kagome materials in exploring these Dirac-like states, particularly in systems with magnetic order. We describe observations massive Dirac states and associated Berry curvature induced transport. We also demonstrate the detection of these states from de Haas-van Alphen oscillations and their modification in magnetic field. Finally, we discuss the promise for these materials in terms of realizing robust time-reversal-breaking topological phases.
