Abstract:
The materials with Kagome lattice have evoked tremendous interest in communities of condensed matter physics and material science due to their fascinating features, such as electronic correlation effects, topological properties, unconventional superconductivity, and rich charge orders. Among them, AV3Sb5 (A = K, Rb, Cs) system is thoroughly investigated since its fabrication in 2019, and a rich phase diagram of quantum states including the charge density wave (CDW) order, electronic nematic phase, conventional and unconventional superconducting phases is obtained under different temperatures and external pressures. Here, the recent progress is reviewed on the electronic properties in the AV3Sb5 system. Several kinds of Van Hove singularities emerge near the Fermi surface, engendering two rival orders of CDW and superconductivity due to the Fermi instability. The relationship between the pressure and superconducting transition temperature is summarized by enumerating the superconducting properties of different samples. Moreover, the possible unconventional superconductivity accompanied by charming magnetic orders in a new material, CsCr3Sb5, which is obtained by completely replacing V atoms with Cr atoms, is addressed under high pressure. Finally, a perspective on the realization of unconventional superconductivity is proposed in the ambient atmosphere to lower the threshold of superconductivity study in this region.

Theory of Metallic Conduction
In this theory, Newton's second law of motion is used to determine the acceleration of an electron in the presence of an applied electric field. Then, its velocity is expressed via this acceleration.
An electron moves through the crystal, containing positive ions,...
Electric Field Inside a Conductor
Suppose a piece of metal is placed near a positive charge. The free electrons in the metal are attracted to the external positive charge and migrate freely toward that region. This region then...
Electrical Conductivity
In a practical conductor, an applied electric field may be sustained, causing a flow of electrons, which produce a current. The differential form of the current, the current density, is related to the electric field.
More generally, it is related to the force per unit charge, which involves the...
Colors and Magnetism
When atoms or molecules absorb light at the proper frequency, their electrons are excited to higher-energy orbitals. For many main group atoms and molecules, the absorbed photons are in the ultraviolet range of the electromagnetic spectrum, which cannot be detected by the human eye. For coordination compounds, the energy difference between the d orbitals often allows photons in the visible range to be absorbed and emitted, which is seen as colors by the human...
