Anisotropic superconducting properties of Kagome metal CsV3Sb5.

2021
We measure the superconducting properties of high-quality CsV3Sb5 single crystals with Tc ~ 3.5 K. We find that the upper critical field Hc2(T) exhibits a large anisotropic ratio Hc2^(ab)/Hc2^c up to 9 at zero temperature and fitting its temperature dependence requires a minimum two-band effective model. The ratio of the lower critical field Hc1^(ab)/Hc1^c is also found to be larger than 1, which indicates that the in-plane energy dispersion is strongly renormalized near Fermi energy. Furthermore, we find a two-fold anisotropy in the in-plane angular-dependent magnetoresistance in the mixed state. Interestingly, below a characteristic temperature of 2.8 K, the orientation of this anisotropy displays a peculiar twist by an angle of 60 degree characteristic of the Kagome geometry. The results suggest an intriguing superconducting state with coexisted intertwined orders, which, at least, are partially driven by electron-electron correlation.
