Abstract

AAV3_3Sb5_5 (AA = K, Rb, Cs) is a novel kagome superconductor coexisting with the charge density wave (CDW) order. Identifying the structure of the CDW order is crucial for understanding the exotic normal state and superconductivity in this system. Here, we report 51^{51}V nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and 121/123^{121/123}Sb nuclear quadrupole resonance (NQR) studies on kagome-metal CsV3_3Sb5_5. Below the CDW transition temperature TCDWT_\textrm{CDW} \sim 98 K, an abrupt change of spectra was observed, indicating that the transition is of the first order. By further analysing the spectra, we find that the CDW order is commensurate. And most remarkably, the obtained experimental results suggest that the charge modulation of the CDW order is of star-of-David pattern and accompanied by an additional charge modulation in bulk below TT^* \sim 40 K. Our results revealing the unconventional CDW order provide new insights into AAV3_3Sb5_5.
