Electronic Instability of Kagome Metal CsV3Sb5 in the 2×2×2 Charge Density Wave State

Recently discovered kagome metals AV₃Sb₅(A = K,Rb,and Cs) provide an ideal platform to study the correlation among nontrivial band topology,unconventional charge density wave(CDW),and superconductivity.The evolution of electronic structures associated with the change of lattice modulations is crucial for understanding of the CDW mechanism,with the combination of angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy(ARPES)measurements and density functional theory calculations,we invest...
