Tri-hexagonal charge order in kagome metal CsV₃Sb₅ revealed by ¹²¹Sb nuclear quadrupole resonance

【摘要】 We report¹²¹Sb nuclear quadrupole resonance（NQR） measurements on kagome superconductor CsV₃Sb₅ with Tc =2.5 K.¹²¹Sb NQR spectra split after a charge density wave（CDW） transition at 94 K, which demonstrates a commensurate CDW state. The coexistence of the high temperature phase and the CDW phase between 91 K and 94 K manifests that it is a first order phase transition. The CDW order exhibits tri-hexagonal deformation with a lateral shift between the adjacent kagome layers, which is consistent with 2 × 2 × 2 superlattice modulation. The superconducting state coexists with CDW order and shows a conventional s-wave behavior in the bulk state.更多还原
