Abstract:
We report the transport properties of kagome superconductor CsV_{3}Sb_{5} single crystals at magnetic field up to 32 T. The Shubnikov-de Haas oscillations emerge at low temperature and four frequencies of F_{α}=27 T, F_{β}=73 T, F_{ε}=727 T, and F_{η}=786 T with relatively small cyclotron masses are observed. For F_{β} and F_{ε}, the Berry phases are close to π, providing clear evidence of nontrivial topological band structures of CsV_{3}Sb_{5}. Furthermore, the consistence between theoretical calculations and experimental results implies that these frequencies can be assigned to the Fermi surfaces locating near the boundary of Brillouin zone and confirms that the structure with an inverse Star of David distortion could be the most stable structure at charge density wave state. These results will shed light on the nature of correlated topological physics in kagome material CsV_{3}Sb_{5}.

Band Formation:
When atoms are brought close together, as in a solid, these discrete energy levels begin to split due to the overlap of electron orbitals from adjacent atoms. This split occurs because of the Pauli exclusion principle, which states...
