Understanding the link between a charge density wave (CDW) instability and superconductivity is a central theme of the 2D metallic kagome compounds $A$V$_3$Sb$_5$ ($A$=K, Rb, and Cs). Using polarization-resolved electronic Raman spectroscopy, we shed light on Fermi surface fluctuations and electronic instabilities. We observe a quasielastic peak (QEP) whose spectral weight is progressively enhanced towards the superconducting transition. The QEP temperature-dependence reveals a steep increase in coherent in-plane charge correlations within the charge-density phase. In contrast, out-of-plane charge fluctuations remain strongly incoherent across the investigated temperature range. In-plane phonon anomalies appear at $T^*sim 50$~K in addition to right below $T_{mathrm{CDW}}sim 95$~K, while showing no apparent evidence of reduced symmetry at low temperatures. In conjunction with the consecutive phonon anomalies within the CDW state, our electronic Raman data unveil additional electronic instabilities that persist down to the superconducting phase, thereby offering a superconducting mechanism.

Recently, intensive studies have revealed fascinating physics, such as charge density wave and superconducting states, in the newly synthesized kagome-lattice materials $A$V$_3$Sb$_5$ ($A$=K, Rb, Cs). Despite the rapid progress, fundamental aspects l ike the magnetic properties and electronic correlations in these materials have not been clearly understood yet. Here, based on the density functional theory plus the single-site dynamical mean-field theory calculations, we investigate the correlated electronic structure and the magnetic properties of the KV$_3$Sb$_5$ family materials in the normal state. We show that these materials are good metals with weak local correlations. The obtained Pauli-like paramagnetism and the absence of local moments are consistent with recent experiment. We reveal that the band crossings around the Fermi level form three groups of nodal lines protected by the spacetime inversion symmetry, each carrying a quantized $pi$ Berry phase. Our result suggests that the local correlation strength in these materials appears to be too weak to generate unconventional superconductivity, and non-local electronic correlation might be crucial in this kagome system.
The new two-dimensional (2D) kagome superconductor CsV$_3$Sb$_5$ has attracted much recent attention due to the coexistence of superconductivity, charge order, topology and kagome physics. A key issue in this field is to unveil the unique reconstruct ed electronic structure, which successfully accommodates different orders and interactions to form a fertile ground for emergent phenomena. Here, we report angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) evidence for two distinct band reconstructions in CsV$_3$Sb$_5$. The first one is characterized by the appearance of new electron energy band at low temperature. The new band is theoretically reproduced when the three dimensionality of the charge order is considered for a band-folding along the out-of-plane direction. The second reconstruction is identified as a surface induced orbital-selective shift of the electron energy band. Our results provide the first evidence for the three dimensionality of the charge order in single-particle spectral function, highlighting the importance of long-range out-of-plane electronic correlations in this layered kagome superconductor. They also point to the feasibility of orbital-selective control of the band structure via surface modification, which would open a new avenue for manipulating exotic phenomena in this system, including superconductivity.
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.
The recently discovered kagome metal series $A$V$_3$Sb$_5$ ($A$=K, Rb, Cs) exhibits topologically nontrivial band structures, chiral charge order and superconductivity, presenting a unique platform for realizing exotic electronic states. The nature o f the superconducting state and the corresponding pairing symmetry are key questions that demand experimental clarification. Here, using a technique based on the tunneling diode oscillator, the magnetic penetration depth $Deltalambda(T)$ of CsV$_3$Sb$_5$ was measured down to 0.07 K. A clear exponential behavior in $Deltalambda(T)$ with marked deviations from a $T$ or $T^2$ temperature dependence is observed at low temperatures, indicating a deficiency of nodal quasiparticles. Temperature dependence of the superfluid density and electronic specific heat can be described by two-gap $s$-wave superconductivity, consistent with the presence of multiple Fermi surfaces in CsV$_3$Sb$_5$. These results evidence nodeless superconductivity in CsV$_3$Sb$_5$ under ambient pressure, and constrain the allowed pairing symmetry.
Temperature-dependent reflectivity measurements on the kagome metal CsV$_3$Sb$_5$ in a broad frequency range of $50-20000$ cm$^{-1}$ down to $T$=10 K are reported. The charge-density wave (CDW) formed below $T_{rm CDW}$ = 94 K manifests itself in a p rominent spectral-weight transfer from low to higher energy regions. The CDW gap of 60-75 meV is observed at the lowest temperature and shows significant deviations from an isotropic BCS-type mean-field behavior. Absorption peaks appear at frequencies as low as 200 cm$^{-1}$ and can be identified with interband transitions according to density-functional calculations. The change in the interband absorption compared to KV$_3$Sb$_5$ reflects the inversion of band saddle points between the K and Cs compounds. Additionally, a broader and strongly temperature-dependent absorption feature is observed below 1000 cm$^{-1}$ and assigned to a displaced Drude peak. It reflects localization effects on charge carriers.
