Quantum well states in Cs thin films epitaxially grown on the kagome superconductor CsV<sub>3</sub>Sb<sub>5</sub>

ORAL

Abstract

We have investigated effects of Cs overdosing to the kagome superconductor CsV3Sb5 by angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy [1, 2], and found unexpected formation of alkali-metal thin films and quantum well states in the films.

In this presentation, we will show thickness control of the Cs thin films and discuss the structural stability with results of first-principles calculations.
