Pressure-induced Reemergence of Superconductivity in Topological Kagome Metal CsV3Sb5.

Quasi-two-dimensional kagome metals AV3Sb5 (A = Cs, Rb, and Cs) have attracted much recent interest due to fascinating quantum phenomena such as giant anomalous Hall effect, topological charge order, and unconventional superconductivity. Here we report pressure-induced reemergent superconductivity in CsV3Sb5 by electrical transport measurements under high pressures up to 47.9 GPa. We show that the superconducting critical temperature Tc is first enhanced by pressure and reaches its first maximum ~ 8.9 K at 0.8 GPa, then the Tc is suppressed by pressure and cannot be detected above 7.5 GPa, forming a dome-shaped superconducting phase diagram. Remarkably, upon further compression above 16.5 GPa, a new superconducting state arises, of which Tc is enhanced by pressure to a second maximum ~ 5.0 K and the reemergent superconductivity keeps robust up to 47.9 GPa. Combined with synchrotron x-ray diffraction measurements that demonstrate the stability of the pristine hexagonal phase up to 43.1 GPa, we argue that the reemergence of superconductivity in the V-based superconductor could be attributed to a pressure-induced Lifshitz transition.
