Untangle charge-order dependent bulk states from surface effects in a topological kagome metal ScV_6Sn_6
arxiv(2024)
Abstract
Kagome metals with charge density wave (CDW) order exhibit a broad spectrum
of intriguing quantum phenomena. The recent discovery of the novel kagome CDW
compound ScV_6Sn_6 has spurred significant interest. However, understanding
the interplay between CDW and the bulk electronic structure has been obscured
by a profusion of surface states and terminations in this quantum material.
Here, we employ photoemission spectroscopy and potassium dosing to elucidate
the complete bulk band structure of ScV_6Sn_6, revealing multiple van Hove
singularities near the Fermi level. We surprisingly discover a robust
spin-polarized topological Dirac surface resonance state at the M point within
the two-fold van Hove singularities. Assisted by the first-principle
calculations, the temperature dependence of the k_z- resolved ARPES spectrum
provides unequivocal evidence for the proposed
√(3)×√(3)×3 charge order over other candidates. Our
work not only enhances the understanding of the CDW-dependent bulk and surface
states in ScV_6Sn_6 but also establishes an essential foundation for
potential manipulation of the CDW order in kagome materials.
