There have been extensive recent developments on kagome metals, such as T$_m$X$_n$ (T= Fe, Co and X= Sn, Ge) and $A$V$_3$Sb$_5$ ($A=$ Cs, K, Rb). An emerging issue is the nature of correlated phases when topologically textit{non-trivial} bands cross the Fermi level. Here, we consider an extended Hubbard model on the kagome lattice in the presence of spin-orbit couplings, involving a Kramers pair of bands that have opposite Chern numbers and are isolated in the band structure. We construct an effective model in a time-reversal (T) symmetric lattice description. We determine the correlated phases of this model and identify a density-wave order in the phase diagram. We show that this order is T-breaking, which originates from the Wannier orbitals lacking a common Wannier center -- a fingerprint of the underlying $Z_2$ topology. Implications of our results for the correlation physics of the kagome metals are discussed.

We present a study of a simple model antiferromagnet consisting of a sum of nearest neighbor SO($N$) singlet projectors on the Kagome lattice. Our model shares some features with the popular $S=1/2$ Kagome antiferromagnet but is specifically designed
to be free of the sign-problem of quantum Monte Carlo. In our numerical analysis, we find as a function of $N$ a quadrupolar magnetic state and a wide range of a quantum spin liquid. A solvable large-$N$ generalization suggests that the quantum spin liquid in our original model is a gapped ${mathbb Z}_2$ topological phase. Supporting this assertion, a numerical study of the entanglement entropy in the sign free model shows a quantized topological contribution.
The recently discovered family of AV$_3$Sb$_5$ (A: K, Rb Cs) kagome metals possess a unique combination of nontrivial band topology, superconducting ground states, and signatures of electron correlations manifest via competing charge density wave ord
er. Little is understood regarding the nature of the charge density wave (CDW) instability inherent to these compounds and the potential correlation with the accompanying onset of a large anomalous Hall response. To understand the impact of the CDW order on the electronic structure in these systems, we present quantum oscillation measurements on single crystals of CsV$_3$Sb$_5$. Our data provides direct evidence that the CDW invokes a substantial reconstruction of the Fermi surface pockets associated with the vanadium orbitals and the kagome lattice framework. In conjunction with density functional theory modeling, we are able to identify split oscillation frequencies originating from reconstructed pockets built from vanadium orbitals and Dirac-like bands. Complementary diffraction measurements are further able to demonstrate that the CDW instability has a correlated phasing between neighboring V$_3$Sb$_5$ planes. These results provide critical insights into the underlying CDW instability in AV$_3$Sb$_5$ kagome metals and support minimal models of CDW order arising from within the vanadium-based kagome lattice.
Charge density waves (CDW) are modulations of the electron density and the atomic lattice that develop in some crystalline materials at low temperature. We report an unusual example of a CDW in BaFe$_2$Al$_9$ below 100 K. In contrast to the canonical
CDW phase transition, temperature dependent physical properties of single crystals reveal a first-order phase transition. This is accompanied by a discontinuous change in the size of the crystal lattice. In fact, this large strain has catastrophic consequences for the crystals causing them to physically shatter. Single crystal x-ray diffraction reveals super-lattice peaks in the low-temperature phase signaling the development of a CDW lattice modulation. No similar low-temperature transitions are observed in BaCo$_2$Al$_9$. Electronic structure calculations provide one hint to the different behavior of these two compounds; the d-orbital states in the Fe compound are not completely filled. Iron compounds are renowned for their magnetism and partly filled d-states play a key role. It is therefore surprising that BaFe$_2$Al$_9$ develops a structural modulation instead at low temperature instead of magnetic order.
As one of the most fundamental physical phenomena, the anomalous Hall effect (AHE) typically occurs in ferromagnetic materials but is not expected in the conventional superconductors. Here, we have observed a giant AHE in kagome superconductor CsV3Sb
5 with transition temperature (Tc) of 2.7 K. The anomalous Hall conductivity reaches up to 2.1*10^4 {Omega}-1 cm-1 which is larger than those observed in most of the ferromagnetic metals. Strikingly, the emergence of AHE exactly follows the higher-temperature charge-density-wave (CDW) transition with TCDW ~ 94 K, indicating a strong correlation between the CDW state and AHE. Furthermore, AHE disappears when the CDW transition is completely suppressed at high pressure. The origin for AHE is attributed to enhanced skew scattering in CDW state and large Berry curvature arose from the kagome lattice. These discoveries make CsV3Sb5 as an ideal platform to study the interplay among nontrivial band topology, CDW and unconventional superconductivity.
The semimetallic or semiconducting nature of the transition metal dichalcogenide 1$T$-TiSe$_2$ remains under debate after many decades mainly due to the fluctuating nature of its 2 $times$ 2 $times$ 2 charge-density-wave (CDW) phase at room-temperatu
re. In this letter, using angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy, we unambiguously demonstrate that the 1$T$-TiSe$_2$ normal state is semimetallic with an electron-hole band overlap of $sim$110 meV by probing the low-energy electronic states of the perturbed CDW phase strongly doped by alkali atoms. Our study not only closes a long-standing debate but also supports the central role of the Fermi surface for driving the CDW and superconducting instabilities in 1$T$-TiSe$_2$.
