Kagome metals AV$_3$Sb$_5$~(A = K, Rb, Cs) are recently discovered platforms featuring an unusual charge-density-wave (CDW) order and superconductivity. The electronic band structure of a kagome lattice can host both flat bands as well Dirac-like bands, offering the possibility to stabilize various quantum states. Here, we probe CsV$_3$Sb$_5$ via Shubnikov-de Haas oscillations on bulk single crystals thin flakes. Although our frequency spectra broadly consistent with published data,...

Abstract In conventional metals, modification of electron trajectories under magnetic field gives rise to a magnetoresistance that varies quadratically at low field, followed by saturation high for closed orbits on the Fermi surface. Deviations from behaviour, example, observation linear magnetoresistance, or non-saturating have been attributed exotic scattering mechanisms. Recently, has observed in many Dirac materials, which electron–electron correlation is relatively weak. The strongly...

Crystalline symmetries can generate exotic band-crossing features, which lead to unconventional fermionic excitations with interesting physical properties. We show how a cubic Dirac point---a fourfold-degenerate point dispersion in plane and linear the third direction---can be stabilized through presence of nonsymmorphic glide mirror symmetry space group crystal. Notably, our case appears on threefold axis, even though it has been believed previously that such only appear sixfold axis....
