Description

The kagome lattice, the most prominent structural motif in quantum physics, benefits from inherent nontrivial geometry to host diverse quantum phases. We utilized muon-spin relaxation to probe charge order and superconductivity in kagome superconductors (K,Rb)V$_{3}$Sb$_{5}$ [1]. We observe a striking enhancement of the internal field width sensed by the muon ensemble, which takes place just below the charge ordering temperature. We further show a multigap and nodal [2] superconductivity in (K,Rb)V$_{3}$Sb$_{5}$. Our results point to time-reversal symmetry-breaking charge order intertwining with unconventional superconductivity in the correlated kagome lattice, offering unique insights into the pairing mechanism.
