Elastoresistivity and elastocaloric effect in the kagome metal KV<sub>3</sub>Sb<sub>5</sub>

ORAL

Abstract

The kagome metal AV3Sb5 (A = K, Rb, Cs) family has attracted significant interest due to the unconventional charge density wave (CDW), giant anomalous Hall effect without long-range magnetic order, and superconductivity at low temperatures [1, 2]. Our previous elastoresistivity and elastocaloric effect measurements have demonstrated that the system is dominated by isotropic response in CsV3Sb5, which is consistent with an isotropic vortex state in superconducting phase reported by recent neutron scattering [3,4]. Although the KV3Sb5 shares similar phase diagrams with CsV3Sb5 under hydrostatic pressure, it is not clear whether reducing the c lattice constant with the K atom can yield new correlations. Here, we examine the elastoresistivity and elastocaloric effect in KV3Sb5 below the CDW transition temperature and will discuss the relationship between the Cs compound.
