Intrinsic Orbital-Dependent and Tunable C2-Symmetric Electronic States in Kagome Superconductors

Abstract
The Kagome systems CsV3Sb5 host multiple Van Hove singularities (VHs) originating from different d orbitals, serving as a fertile platform for diverse electronic states. In the pristine sample, many anomalous behaviors occur around 35K deeply in the 2*2*2 charge density wave phase, and quasiparticle interference (QPI) studies with scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) reveal that V-orbital-derived states become incoherent above this temperature, indicating the emergence of hidden electronic states arising from other orbitals that compete with 2*2*2 bond order. To investigate the role of different orbitals and uncover the possible hidden order, we utilize STM to study undoped and Ti-doped CsV3Sb5. When long-range CDW is fully suppressed at a doping level of x=0.18 in CsV3Ti3-xSb5, a new rotational symmetry-breaking state is found, manifested as a C2-symmetric Fermi surface distortion mainly associated with dx2-y2/dxy orbitals. At a lower doping level (x=0.12), where the C2 structural distortion of CDW and this new C2 distorted Fermi surface coexist, yet their principal C2 axes are always misaligned, indicating competition between these two orders. Furthermore, statistical analysis reveals that the hidden two-fold symmetric order is unrelated to Ti dopants, and similar behavior of anisotropy kF is observed in CsV3Sb5, indicating that this instability is intrinsic to Kagome layers.
