    Electron Conspiracy in a Japanese Lattice Pattern: Kagome Metals Baffle Science

    February 14, 2022, Categories  Physics

    The kagome lattice is composed of three interwoven triangular lattices. For KV3Sb5, each such triangular lattice (denoted red, blue, and green) represent one type of Vanadium sublattice which together form the Kagome metal. The particular kagome lattice structure leads to intriguing quantum effects which yields collective electronic quantum states such as a potentially unprecedented form of superconductivity.

    Toward a new kind of superconductivity: In the past four years scientists have discovered metals whose crystal structure mimics that of a traditional Japanese woven bamboo pattern: kagome metals...
