Beschreibung

Kagome lattices stand at the forefront of research due to their fascinating interplay of topology, correlations, and magnetism [1-3]. In my talk, I aim to shed light on the latest experimental developments concerning superconductivity and the magnetic aspects of charge order in various kagome-lattice systems, studied from the perspective of local magnetic probe. This involves the use of muon-spin rotation (µSR) as a function of depth from the sample surface and under extreme conditions like hydrostatic pressure, uniaxial strain, ultra-low temperatures, and high magnetic fields. µSR is complemented by magnetoresistance and X-ray diffraction techniques. Key systems under discussion will include: (1) The AV3Sb5 (A = K, Rb, Cs) compound series with V kagome lattice, notable for displaying a range of symmetry-breaking electronic orders [4], such as charge order and superconductivity. Here, we have identified a depthtunable time-reversal symmetry-breaking state associated with charge order [5-8]. Additionally, we have found a chain of evidence for unconventional superconductivity [6,7,9]. (2) The bilayer kagome material ScV6Sn6, where hidden magnetism within the charge-ordered state was observed [10]. (3) The LaRu3Si2 system with Ru kagome layers, in which we identified two distinct types of charge order (bond order), with one manifesting above room temperature [11,12]. This finding marks the first instance of observing a charge-ordered state at or above room temperature in a correlated kagome lattice.
