摘要
涉及有限动量配对的超导现象可导致空间间隙和配对密度调制,以及超导间隙内的波哥留布夫费米态。然而,要在实验中实现它们之间的相互关联一直是个挑战。在这里,我们通过普通和约瑟夫森扫描隧道显微镜在 KV3Sb5 和 CsV3Sb5 中检测到了手性卡戈米超导电性调制与残余费米弧,波长低至 30mK,在微电子伏级解析了电子能差。我们观察到一个具有平坦残余隙内态的 U 型超导隙。该间隙表现出手性2乘2空间调制,具有磁场可调的手性,这与通过约瑟夫通道观测到的手性2乘2磁对密度调制相吻合。这些发现证明了打破时间反向对称性的手性对密度波(PDW)。对空隙内零能态的准粒子干涉成像揭示了分段弧,高温数据将它们与电荷阶内重建的 V d 轨道态的一部分联系起来。此外,我们还将观测到的 PDW 秩与杂质引起的间隙调制区分开来。我们的观测结果不仅揭示了具有轨道选择性的手性 PDW 秩,而且还阐明了有限动量派超导中固有的基本空间-动量对应关系。
Chiral kagome superconductivity modulations with residual Fermi arcs in KV3Sb5 and CsV3Sb5
Superconductivity involving finite momentum pairing can lead to spatial gap
and pair density modulations, as well as Bogoliubov Fermi states within the
superconducting gap. However, the experimental realization of their intertwined
relations has been challenging. Here, we detect chiral kagome superconductivity
modulations with residual Fermi arcs in KV3Sb5 and CsV3Sb5 by normal and
Josephson scanning tunneling microscopy down to 30mK with resolved electronic
energy difference at microelectronvolt level. We observe a U-shaped
superconducting gap with flat residual in-gap states. This gap exhibits chiral
2 by 2 spatial modulations with magnetic field tunable chirality, which align
with the chiral 2 by 2 pair density modulations observed through Josephson
tunneling. These findings demonstrate a chiral pair density wave (PDW) that
breaks time-reversal symmetry. Quasiparticle interference imaging of the in-gap
zero-energy states reveals segmented arcs, with high-temperature data linking
them to parts of the reconstructed V d-orbital states within the charge order.
The detected residual Fermi arcs can be explained by the partial suppression of
these d-orbital states through an interorbital 2 by 2 PDW and thus serve as
candidate Bogoliubov Fermi states. Additionally, we differentiate the observed
PDW order from impurity-induced gap modulations. Our observations not only
uncover a chiral PDW order with orbital-selectivity, but also illuminate the
fundamental space-momentum correspondence inherent in finite momentum paired
superconductivity.
