CsV$_3$Sb$_5$ is a newly discovered Kagome superconductor that attracts great interest due to its topological nontrivial band structure and the coexistence of superconductivity and charge-density-wave (CDW) with many exotic properties. Here, we report the detailed characterization of the CDW gap in high-quality CsV$_3$Sb$_5$ single crystals using high-resolution angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy. We find that the CDW gap is strongly momentum dependent. While gapped around the $M$ point, the electronic states remain gapless around the $Gamma$ point and along the $Gamma$-$K$ direction. Such momentum dependence indicates that the CDW is driven by the scattering of electrons between neighboring $M$ points, where the band structure hosts multiple saddle points and the density of state diverges near the Fermi level. Our observations of the partially gapped Fermi surface and strongly momentum-dependent CDW gap not only provide a foundation for uncovering the mechanism of CDW in CsV$_3$Sb$_5$, but also shed light on the understanding of how the CDW coexists with superconductivity in this topological Kagome superconductor.

Using first-principles calculations, we identify the origin of the observed charge density wave (CDW) formation in a layered kagome metal CsV$_3$Sb$_5$. It is revealed that the structural distortion of kagome lattice forming the trimeric and hexameri
c V atoms is accompanied by the stabilization of quasimolecular states, which gives rise to the opening of CDW gaps for the V-derived multibands lying around the Fermi level. This Jahn-Teller-like instability having the local lattice distortion and its derived quasimolecular states is a driving force of the CDW order. Specifically, the saddle points of multiple Dirac bands near the Fermi level, located at the $M$ point, are hybridized to disappear along the $k_z$ direction, therefore not supporting the widely accepted Peierls-like electronic instability due to Fermi surface nesting. It is further demonstrated that applied hydrostatic pressure significantly reduces the interlayer spacing to destabilize the quasimolecular states, leading to a disappearance of the CDW phase at a pressure of ${sim}$2 GPa. The presently proposed underlying mechanism of the CDW order in CsV$_3$Sb$_5$ can also be applicable to other isostructural kagome lattices such as KV$_3$Sb$_5$ and RbV$_3$Sb$_5$.
Recently, kagome lattice metal AV$_3$Sb$_5$ (A = K, Rb, Cs) family has received wide attention due to its presence of superconductivity, charge density wave (CDW) and peculiar properties from topological nontrivial electronic structure. With time-res
olved pump-probe spectroscopy, we show that the excited quasiparticle relaxation dynamics can be explained by formation of energy gap below the phase transition being similar to a usual second-order CDW condensate, by contrast, the structure change is predominantly first order phase transition. Furthermore, no CDW amplitude mode is identified in the ordered phase. The results suggest that the CDW order is very different from the traditional CDW condensate. We also find that weak pump pulse can non-thermally melt the CDW order and drive the sample into its high temperature phase, revealing the fact that the difference in lattice potential between those phases is small.
$A$V$_3$Sb$_5$ ($A$ = K, Rb, Cs) is a novel kagome superconductor coexisting with the charge density wave (CDW) order. Identifying the structure of the CDW order is crucial for understanding the exotic normal state and superconductivity in this syste
m. Here, we report $^{51}$V nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and $^{121/123}$Sb nuclear quadrupole resonance (NQR) studies on kagome-metal CsV$_3$Sb$_5$. Below the CDW transition temperature $T_textrm{CDW} sim$ 98 K, an abrupt change of spectra was observed, indicating that the transition is of the first order. By further analysing the spectra, we find that the CDW order is commensurate. And most remarkably, we obtain the first experimental evidence that the charge modulation of the CDW order is of star-of-David pattern and accompanied by an additional charge modulation in bulk below $T^* sim$ 40 K. Our results revealing the unconventional CDW order provide new insights into $A$V$_3$Sb$_5$.
The Kagome superconductors AV$_3$Sb$_5$ (A=K, Rb, Cs) have received enormous attention due to their nontrivial topological electronic structure, anomalous physical properties and superconductivity. Unconventional charge density wave (CDW) has been de
tected in AV$_3$Sb$_5$ that is found to be intimately intertwined with the anomalous Hall effect and superconductivity. High-precision electronic structure determination is essential to understand the origin of the CDW transition and its interplay with electron correlation, topology and superconductivity, yet, little evidence has been found about the impact of the CDW state on the electronic structure in AV$_3$Sb$_5$. Here we unveil electronic nature of the CDW phase in our high-resolution angle-resolved photoemission (ARPES) measurements on KV$_3$Sb$_5$. We have observed CDW-induced Fermi surface reconstruction and the associated band structure folding. The CDW-induced band splitting and the associated gap opening have been revealed at the boundary of the pristine and reconstructed Brillouin zone. The Fermi surface- and momentum-dependent CDW gap is measured for the first time and the strongly anisotropic CDW gap is observed for all the V-derived Fermi surface sheets. In particular, we have observed signatures of the electron-phonon coupling for all the V-derived bands. These results provide key insights in understanding the nature of the CDW state and its interplay with superconductivity in AV$_3$Sb$_5$ superconductors.
I search for the ground state structures of the kagome metals KV$_3$Sb$_5$, RbV$_3$Sb$_5$, and CsV$_3$Sb$_5$ using first principles calculations. Group-theoretical analysis shows that there are seventeen different distortions that are possible due to
the phonon instabilities at the $M$ $(frac{1}{2},0,0)$ and $L$ $(frac{1}{2},0,frac{1}{2})$ points in the Brilouin zone of the parent $P6/mmm$ phase of these materials. I generated these structures for the three compounds and performed full structural relaxations that minimize the atomic forces and lattice stresses. I find that the $Fmmm$ phase with the order parameter $M_1^+$ $(a,0,0)$ $+$ $L_2^-$ $(0,b,b)$ has the lowest energy among these possibilities in all three compounds. However, the $Fmmm$ exhibits a dynamical instability at its $Z$ $(0,0,1)$ point, which corresponds to the $A$ $(0,0,frac{1}{2})$ point in the parent $P6/mmm$ phase. Condensation of this instability leads to a base-centered orthorhombic structure with the space group $Cmcm$ and $4Q$ order parameter $M_1^+$ $(a,0,0)$ $+$ $L_2^-$ $(0,b,b)$ $+$ $A_6^+$ $(frac{1}{2}c,frac{-sqrt{3}}{2}c)$.
