Abstract

The entanglement of charge density wave (CDW), superconductivity, and topologically nontrivial electronic structure has recently been discovered in the kagome metal AAV3_3Sb5_5 (AA = K, Rb, Cs) family. With high-resolution angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy, we study the electronic properties of CDW and superconductivity in CsV3_3Sb5_5. The spectra around Kˉ\bar{K} is found to exhibit a peak-dip-hump structure associated with two separate branches of dispersion, demonstrating the isotropic CDW gap opening below EFE_{\rm F}. The peak-dip-hump lineshape is contributed by linearly dispersive Dirac bands in the lower branch and a dispersionless flat band close to EFE_{\rm F} in the upper branch. The electronic instability via Fermi surface nesting could play a role in determining these CDW-related features. The superconducting gap of \sim0.4 meV is observed on both the electron band around Γˉ\bar{\Gamma} and the flat band around Kˉ\bar{K}, implying the multiband superconductivity. The finite density of states (DOS) at EFE_{\rm F} in the CDW phase are most likely in favor of the emergence of multiband superconductivity, particularly the enhanced DOS associated with the flat band. Our results not only shed light on the controversial origin of the CDW, but also offer insights into the relationship between CDW and superconductivity.
