This Collection provides updated research from the Ordered States in Kagome Metals collection.
Kagome metals are composed of two-dimensional networks of corner-sharing triangles and are theoretically predicted to exhibit a distinctive interplay between topologically nontrivial electronic band structures and correlation-driven ordered states. These materials exhibit a variety of emergent phenomena, including unconventional superconductivity, charge density waves, various types of ordered states, and correlated topological phases. Recent studies have made significant progress in identifying and characterizing electronic symmetries in kagome metal compounds exhibiting strong interaction effects, offering the potential to engineer novel quantum states and high potential of their applications in cutting –edge technology. Correlations arising from band filling and magnetic interactions near flat bands and saddle points in the kagome electronic structure provide a particularly fertile platform for exploring emergent phenomena in these materials. This collection focuses on the study of broken symmetries and the unconventional ordered states in the rapidly growing field of kagome metals, with potential applications in cutting-edge technology.
The topics will include, but are not limited to:
- Theoretical understanding of quantum phenomena in kagome metals
- Experimental demonstration of new quantum states or phenomena in kagome metals
- Engineering of new kagome metal that lead to novel properties
- Investigation of the interplay between various phases of kagome metals
- Symmetry breaking and its manifestations in kagome metals
- Applications of kagome metals in advancing cutting-edge technology
