  Kagome lattices have emerged as an ideal platform for exploring various
exotic quantum phenomena such as correlated topological phases, frustrated
lattice geometry, unconventional charge density wave orders, Chern quantum
phases, superconductivity, etc. In particular, the vanadium based nonmagnetic
kagome metals AV3Sb5 (A= K, Rb, and Cs) have seen a flurry of research interest
due to the discovery of multiple competing orders. Here, we report the
discovery of a new Ti based kagome metal YbTi3Bi4 and employ angle-resolved
photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES), magnetotransport in combination with
density functional theory calculations to investigate its electronic structure.
We reveal spectroscopic evidence of multiple flat bands arising from the kagome
lattice of Ti with predominant Ti 3d character. Through our calculations of the
Z2 indices, we have identified that the system exhibits topological
nontriviality with surface Dirac cones at the Gamma point and a quasi
two-dimensional Dirac state at the K point which is further confirmed by our
ARPES measured band dispersion. These results establish YbTi3Bi4 as a novel
platform for exploring the intersection of nontrivial topology, and electron
correlation effects in this newly discovered Ti based kagome lattice.
