Abstract
Abstract In this study, we present a detailed investigation of kagome superconductors CsV3Sb5 single crystal and its Ta-doped variant, Cs(V0.86Ta0.14)3Sb5, through specific heat measurements. Our specific heat results show a clear suppression of the charge density wave (CDW) and notable increase in the superconducting transition temperature (Tc) from 2.8 K to 4.6 K upon Ta doping. The electronic specific heat of the pristine CsV3Sb5 sample can be fitted with a model comprising an s-wave gap and a highly anisotropic extended s-wave gap, where the ratio 2△/k B T c is smaller than the weak coupling limit of 3.5. For the doped sample Cs(V0.86Ta0.14)3Sb5, it exhibits two isotropic s-wave gaps, yielding the larger gap of 2△/k B T c = 5.04, which indicates a significant enhancement in superconducting coupling. This evolution is attributed to the increased density of states (DOS) near the Fermi level released through the suppression of the CDW gap. Our results demonstrate enhanced superconducting coupling and variation of gap structure in CsV3Sb5 due to Ta doping.
