Abstract
Recently discovered alongside its sister compounds KV_{3}Sb_{5} and RbV_{3}Sb_{5}, CsV_{3}Sb_{5} crystallizes with an ideal kagome network of vanadium and antimonene layers separated by alkali metal ions. This work presents the electronic properties of CsV_{3}Sb_{5}, demonstrating bulk superconductivity in single crystals with a T_{c}=2.5 K. The normal state electronic structure is studied via angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy and density-functional theory, which categorize CsV_{3}Sb_{5} as a Z_{2} topological metal. Multiple protected Dirac crossings are predicted in close proximity to the Fermi level (E_{F}), and signatures of normal state correlation effects are also suggested by a high-temperature charge density wavelike instability. The implications for the formation of unconventional superconductivity in this material are discussed.
