Exotic quantum phase transitions in metals, such as the electronic nematic state, have been discovered one after another and found to be universal now. The emergence of unconventional density-wave (DW) order in frustrated kagome metal AVSb and its interplay with exotic superconductivity attract increasing attention. We find that the DW in kagome metal is the bond order, because the sizable intersite attraction is caused by the quantum interference among paramagnons. This mechanism is important in kagome metals because the geometrical frustration prohibits the freezing of paramagnons. In addition, we uncover that moderate bond-order fluctuations mediate sizable pairing glue, and this mechanism gives rise to both singlet s-wave and triplet p-wave superconductivity. Furthermore, characteristic pressure-induced phase transitions in CsVCb are naturally understood by the present theory. Thus, both the exotic density wave and the superconductivity in geometrically frustrated kagome metals are explained by the quantum interference mechanism.

Alkali element doping has significant physical implications for two-dimensional materials, primarily by tuning the electronic structure and carrier concentration. It can enhance interface electronic interactions, providing opportunities for effective charge transfer at metal-organic interfaces. In this work, we investigated the effects of gradually increasing the level of K doping on the lattice structure and electronic properties of an organometallic coordinated Kagome lattice on a Ag(111) surface.

Article Synopsis
  • Zero thermal expansion (ZTE) metals are highly desired for their ability to maintain dimensional stability, but their use is limited due to a small temperature range and brittleness.
  • Researchers developed a new ZTE alloy (HoFeNi) by incorporating nickel, which broadens the operable temperature range while enhancing the ferromagnetic properties of the iron within it.
  • The addition of excess iron improves the alloy's compressive strength and maintains ZTE characteristics, suggesting that this chemical design could lead to the creation of more effective ZTE alloys in the future.
