Deskripsi

The recent discovery of novel charge density wave (CDW) and pair density wave (PDW) in kagome superconductors (SC) AV3Sb5 motivates theoretical study of these phenomena. Here, the authors propose that the CDW state is an orbital Chern metal, leading to a SC state with a chiral PDW, the melting of which leads to vestigial electronic orders including charge-4e and 6e SC.
