Anomalous Phonon in Charge-Density-Wave Phase of Kagome Metal CsV3Sb5

CsV3Sb5, a notable compound within the kagome family, is renowned for its topological and superconducting properties, as well as its detection of local magnetic field and anomalous Hall effect in experiments. However, the origin of this local magnetic field is still veiled. In this study, we employ the first-principles calculations to investigate the atomic vibration in both the pristine and the charge-density-wave phases of CsV$_3$Sb$_5$. Our analysis reveals the presence of ``anomalous phonons" in these structures, these phonon induce the circular vibration of atoms, contributing to the phonon magnetic moments and subsequently to the observed the local magnetic fields. Additionally, we observe that lattice distortion in the charge-density-wave phase amplifies these circular vibrations, resulting in a stronger local magnetic field, particularly from the vanadium atoms. This investigation not only reveals the potential relation between lattice distortion and atomic polarization but also offers a novel idea to understand the origin of local magnetic moment in CsV3Sb5.

Possible high-temperature magnetically topological material Mn$_{3}$Bi$_{2}$Te$_{6}$

The Mn-Bi-Te family displaying magnetism and non-trivial topological properties has received extensive attention. Here, we predict that the antiferromagnetic structure of Mn$_{3}$Bi$_{2}$Te$_{6}$ with three MnTe layers is energetically stable and the magnetic coupling strength of Mn-Mn is enhanced four times compared with that in the single MnTe layer of MnBi$_{2}$Te$_{4}$. The predicted Néel transition point is higher than 77 K, the liquid-nitrogen temperature. The topological properties show that with the variation of the MnTe layer from a single layer to three layers, the system transforms from a nontrivial topological phase to a trivial topological phase. Interestingly, the ferromagnetic state of Mn$_{3}$Bi$_{2}$Te$_{6}$ is a topological semimetal and it exhibits a topological transition from trivial to nontrivial induced by the magnetic transition. Our results enrich the Mn-Bi-Te family system, offer a new platform for studying topological phase transitions, and pave a new way to improve the working temperature of magnetically topological devices.

Effective minimal model and unconventional spin-singlet pairing in Kagome superconductor CsV3Sb5

Recently synthesized Kagome compounds AV$_3$Sb$_5$ attract great attention due to the unusual coexistence of the topology, charge density wave and superconductivity. In this {\it Letter}, based on the band structures for CsV$_3$Sb$_5$ in pristine phase, we fit an effective 6-band model for the low-energy processes; utilizing the random phase approximation (RPA) on the effective minimal model, we obtain the momentum-resolved static spin susceptibility attributing the spin-fluctuation pairing mechanism, we find that the superconducting pairing strengths increase with the lift of the Coulomb correlation, and the superconductive pairing symmetry is singlet, the gap functions are antisymmetric with respect to the x-axis and the y-axis in the intermediate to strong Coulomb correlated regime,indicating the unconventional superconductivity in Kagome compounds AV$_3$Sb$_5$.
