Abstract
Understanding the competition between superconductivity and other ordered states (such as antiferromagnetic or charge-density-wave (CDW) state) is a central issue in condensed matter physics. The recently discovered layered kagome metal AV3Sb5 (A = K, Rb, and Cs) provides us a new playground to study the interplay of superconductivity and CDW state by involving nontrivial topology of band structures. Here, we conduct high-pressure electrical transport and magnetic susceptibility measurements to study CsV3Sb5 with the highest Tc of 2.7 K in AV3Sb5 family. While the CDW transition is monotonically suppressed by pressure, superconductivity is enhanced with increasing pressure up to P1 ≈ 0.7 GPa, then an unexpected suppression on superconductivity happens until pressure around 1.1 GPa, after that, Tc is enhanced with increasing pressure again. The CDW is completely suppressed at a critical pressure P2 ≈ 2 GPa together with a maximum Tc of about 8 K. In contrast to a common dome-like behavior, the pressure-dependent Tc shows an unexpected double-peak behavior. The unusual suppression of Tc at P1 is concomitant with the rapidly damping of quantum oscillations, sudden enhancement of the residual resistivity and rapid decrease of magnetoresistance. Our discoveries indicate an unusual competition between superconductivity and CDW state in pressurized kagome lattice.

Introduction
Superconductivity and the charge density wave (CDW) state are two different cooperative electronic states, and both of them are originated from electron–phonon coupling and Fermi surface instabilities. Superconductivity is often observed in CDW materials, however, the interplay between CDW order and superconductivity is still not well elucidated1,2,3,4,5. For example, the maximum Tc in compressed TiSe2 or CuxTiSe2 is reached when the CDW order is completely suppressed2,6; however, the superconductivity in compressed 1T-TaS2 and 2H-NbSe2 seems to be independent of the CDW order7,8.
The materials with kagome lattice provide a fertile ground to study the frustrated, novel correlated, and topological electronic states owing to unusual lattice geometry9,10,11,12. Recently, a new family of quasi two-dimensional kagome metals AV3Sb5 (A = K, Rb Cs) has attracted tremendous attention13. These materials crystallize in the P6/mmm space group, forming layers of ideal kagome nets of V ions coordinated by Sb. Besides topological properties, AV3Sb5 exhibits both CDW13,14 and superconductivity15,16,17. Ultra-low temperature thermal conductivity measurements on CsV3Sb5 single crystal shows a finite residual linear term, implying an unconventional nodal superconductivity18. Intertwining the superconductivity and CDW state by involving nontrivial topology of band structures results in many exotic properties in this type of materials. For example, topological charge order was reported in KV3Sb514, signatures of spin-triplet superconductivity were claimed in Nb-K1−xV3Sb5 devices19, and unconventional giant anomalous Hall effect was observed in K1−xV3Sb5 and superconducting CsV3Sb520,21. However, the superconducting transition temperature (Tc) in this system is relatively low, and its correlation with the CDW and non-trivial topological states are still not known.
High pressure is a clean method to tune the electronic properties without introducing any impurities, and pressure is often used as a control parameter to tune superconductivity and CDW state. Here, we performed high-pressure electrical transport measurements on CsV3Sb5 single crystals with the highest Tc of 2.7 K in AV3Sb5 family. Maximum Tc of 8 K is observed at P2 ≈ 2 GPa when CDW is completely suppressed. Strikingly, an unusual suppression on superconductivity is observed between P1 ≈ 0.7 GPa and P2 ≈ 2 GPa. These results indicate an unexpected, exotic competition between CDW and superconductivity in this region, which makes CsV3Sb5 a rare platform to investigate the interplay of multiple electronic orders.
Results
High pressure resistivity and magnetic susceptibility measurements
We performed resistivity and magnetic susceptibility measurements on CsV3Sb5 under pressure to track the evolution of the CDW state and superconductivity in the compressed material. Temperature dependence of resistivity for CsV3Sb5 under various pressures is shown in Fig. 1. As shown in Fig. 1a, an anomaly due to the CDW transition in the resistivity15 is clearly visible for sample 1 with PCC. The CDW transition temperature T* gradually decreases with increasing the pressure, and the anomaly becomes much weaker at high pressures. We can determine the CDW transition temperature T* precisely in the derivative resistivity curves as shown in Fig. 1b. The anomaly clearly shifts to lower temperatures with increasing the pressure, and disappears at the pressure of P2 ≈ 2 GPa. The anomaly of dρxx/dT at T* gradually evolves from a broad peak to a peak-dip feature around P1. Further increasing the pressure above P1, the peak gradually weakens and the dip becomes more pronounced. The dρxx/dT anomaly is associated to the change of the band structure and electron scattering rate in the CDW state. Therefore, such change of the shape of dρxx/dT anomaly indicates the possible change of the CDW transition around P1. To track the evolution of Tc with pressure, the low-temperature resistivity of CsV3Sb5 under various pressures is shown in Fig. 1c, d for sample1 with PCC and sample 2 with DAC, respectively. The Tc first increases with increasing pressure as shown in Fig. 1c, however, the superconducting transition becomes much broader with pressure larger than P1 of ~0.7 GPa, reminiscent of an inhomogeneous superconductivity in which multi superconducting phases coexists. In the high-pressure magnetic susceptibility measurements for sample 3 with PCC as shown in Supplementary Fig. 2, the superconducting transition temperature \({T}_{c}^{M2}\) determined by the magnetic susceptibility gradually increases with increasing the pressure below P1. With the pressure above P1, the superconducting volume fraction suddenly decreases. Further increasing the pressure, the bulk superconductivity \({T}_{c}^{M2}\) emerges below 4 K around 1.1 GPa, but the magnetic susceptibility shows a weak reduction at \({T}_{c}^{M1}\) with higher temperature, indicating an inhomogeneous superconductivity, consistent with our resistivity measurements. It is striking that the superconducting transition becomes sharp again around P2. Meanwhile the highest Tc of 8 K is obtained. It should be addressed that the maximum Tc achieved at high pressure is 3 times higher than that (2.7 K) at ambient pressure. With further increasing the pressure, the Tc is monotonically suppressed and completely disappears above 12 GPa as shown in Fig. 1d for sample 2 with DAC. The pressure inhomogeneity or pressure induced disorder may cause the broadening of the superconducting transition. Such extrinsic effects become more pronounced with increasing the pressure. However, in our case, the superconducting transition at P2 is very sharp, which indicates that such extrinsic effect is negligible at least below P2 and the broadening of the superconducting transition between P1 and P2 is intrinsic.

Figure 2a, b shows superconducting transition under different magnetic fields for sample 1 with PCC around P1 and P2 with magnetic field applied along c axis, respectively. Much higher magnetic field is needed to suppress superconductivity around P1 and P2 compared with that at ambient pressure15,18. To investigate the evolution of Hc2 under pressure, we plot Hc2 (determined by \({T}_{c}^{{zero}}\)) as a function of temperature under various pressures, as shown in Fig. 2c, d. The Hc2 shows strong pressure dependence. Hc2 dramatically increases with increasing the pressure, and reaches a local maximum value around P1. With further increasing the pressure, the Hc2 can be rapidly suppressed, as shown in Fig. 2c. When the pressure reaches P2, Hc2 dramatically increases to the maximum value, then Hc2 can be gradually suppressed with further increasing the pressure, as shown in Fig. 2d.
Phase diagram with pressure for CsV3Sb5 single crystal
Combing the high-pressure electrical and magnetic susceptibility measurements on sample 1 and 3 with PCC and sample 2 with DAC, we can map out the phase diagram of CsV3Sb5 with pressure, as shown in Fig. 3a, b. The CDW is monotonically suppressed with increasing pressure, and the maximum Tc locates at the endpoint of CDW. A subsequent monotonic reduction of Tc is followed at higher pressure. The relatively high Tc (8 K) achieved at high pressure makes it the record in the kagome lattice materials. Such competition between CDW state and superconductivity is usual since the gap opening at CDW state would dramatically reduce the density of states at Fermi surfaces, leading to the suppression of superconductivity within Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer (BCS) scenario. It is striking that the superconducting transition becomes much broad with pressure between P1 and P2, and Tc together with Hc2 are strongly suppressed. The T* shows a weak anomaly around P1, which suggests the transformation of CDW state. Above P1, the superconductivity shows much stronger competition with CDW order, which will be discussed later. We can estimate the Hc2 at zero temperature (Hc2(0)) by using the two-band model22 of Hc2 vs T curves as shown in Fig. 2c, d. The pressure dependence of the extracted Hc2(0) is shown in Fig. 3c, and two peaks are clearly located at P1 and P2. The magnitude of Hc2(0) at P1 and P2 is one order larger than that at ambient pressure.

Two transitions at P1 and P2
The pressure dependence of \({T}_{c}^{{zero}}\) clearly shows that two peaks are located at P1 and P2, and the superconducting transition width ΔTc shows sudden enhancement with pressure between P1 and P2, as shown in Fig. 4a. In order to unveil the unusual suppression of superconductivity between P1 and P2, we plot the residual resistivity and residual-resistivity ratio (RRR) as a function of pressure, as shown in Fig. 4b. The residual resistivity suddenly increases around P1 and keeps at a relatively high value with the pressure between P1 and P2. Above P2, the residual resistivity suddenly drops. RRR also exhibits reduction with pressure between P1 and P2. The magnetoresistance (MR) measured under magnetic field of 9 Tesla and at the temperature of 10 K suddenly drops around P1. The MR measured at 3 T shows an anomaly at P1 and sudden drops at P2. In addition, the magnetoresistance of the low-field region at 10 K evolves from “V” shape to “U” shape at P2 as shown in Supplementary Fig. 4. Temperature dependence of MR at high pressure also evolves from “V” shape to “U” shape as shown in Supplementary Fig. 5. These results indicate that the low-field linear MR is an intrinsic property of the CDW phase, since the MR exhibits quadratic temperature-dependence when the CDW is suppressed by both of heating and pressure. However, the room-temperature resistivity gradually decreases with increasing the pressure, and does not show any anomaly at P1 and P2 as shown in Fig. 4c. These results indicate that the transitions at P1 and P2 are related to the CDW transitions rather than the normal state change at high temperature. The Shubnikov-de Haas (SdH) quantum oscillations (QOs) measurements at 2 K exhibit a rapid damping above P1 as shown in Supplementary Fig. 6, which is possibly associated to the enhancement of scattering rate for the resolved four bands, providing evidence for a transformation of the CDW state at P1.

Discussion
Although superconductivity was reported in some kagome lattice materials23,24, the previously reported Tc is quite low. Our high-pressure work demonstrates that the Tc in this V-based kagome material can be relatively high and easily tuned. Further enhancement of Tc should be possible in this type of materials by using the other methods to destroy the CDW state, such as chemical substitution or electrical gating. The maximum Tc locates at the endpoint of CDW, which resembles many other CDW materials2,6, indicating the competition between superconductivity and CDW state. The most interesting discovery in this work is the region between P1 and P2, in which the CDW and superconductivity have much stronger competition, leading to the dramatical suppression of Tc and increment of superconducting transition width (ΔTc). In addition, the sudden enhancement of residual resistivity and damping of QOs indicate a transition at P1, possibly due to the formation of a new CDW state. One possibility is that the original modulation pattern may change under pressure, and a new commensurate CDW (CCDW) state or an incommensurate CDW(ICCDW) state emerges above P1. Pressure-induced CCDW to ICCDW transition has been observed in the 2H-TaSe225. Such phase transition will dramatically modify the Fermi surface and alters Tc. However, it cannot explain the superconducting transition broadening after phase transition. Another possibility is that a nearly commensurate CDW (NCCDW) state forms above P1, in which CDW domains are separated by domain walls (DW). Similar transition was also observed in 1T-TaS2 with increasing the temperature26. It is proposed a tri-hexagonal (inverse Star of David) modulation pattern shows up in the CCDW state for AV3Sb514. In the NCCDW state, the charge may transfer to the narrow DWs since CDW domains are partially gapped27. The enhanced interaction and scattering at the DW network will lead to the higher resistivity27. The superconductivity in the CDW domains may be strongly suppressed due to the reduction of carrier density, however, the superconductivity in the DWs may have higher Tc, leading to the inhomogeneous superconductivity. To be reminded, the rather broad superconducting transition in the NCCDW state actually resembles the manifestation of so-called pair-density-wave (PDW) order in high-Tc cuprate superconductors28. In La2−xBaxCuO4, superconductivity is greatly suppressed around 1/8 doping level due to the formation of a long-ranged stripe order and the final superconducting state at low temperatures is attributed to a PDW order29,30,31. This is very similar to our cases around the region with unusual suppression of Tc. Therefore, it is speculated that a similar PDW order might also emerge in the superconducting state between P1 and P2, which needs further evidences from spatial-resolved spectroscopy. Our discoveries may help to clarify the origin of similar behaviors observed in other systems with competing orders. In fact, two-dome Tc behavior were also observed in some superconductors32,33,34, which might be a general feature for superconductors with competing density waves. However, we would like to note that two-dome SC behavior in CsV3Sb5 occurs within the CDW phase, which is different with the other systems where a second SC dome appears when the density wave order is completely suppressed. Quantum critical behavior can emerge at the endpoint of CDW order35. In order to search for the quantum criticality in this system, we analysis the low-temperature resistivity, as shown in Supplementary Fig. 8. Above P2, the low-temperature resistivity follows T2 behavior below 35 K, therefore our current results do not support the existence of quantum fluctuations around P2. However, ultralow-temperature experiments are still highly required to clarify possible quantum criticality at lower temperature.
In conclusion, we systematically investigate the high-pressure transport and magnetic susceptibility properties of the newly discovered topological kagome metal CsV3Sb5. When CDW is completely suppressed, the maximum Tc up to 8 K can be reached, and is three times higher than that (2.7 K) at ambient pressure. More interestingly, superconductivity shows an unusual suppression with pressure between P1 and P2. A transformation of CDW state occurs above P1 accompanied with the rapidly damping of QOs, sudden enhancement of residual resistivity and the rapid decrease of magnetoresistance.
Methods
Material syntheses
Single crystals of CsV3Sb5 were synthesized via a self-flux growth method similar to the previous reports15. In order to prevent the reaction of Cs with air and water, all the preparation processes were performed in an argon glovebox. After reaction in the furnace, the as-grown CsV3Sb5 single crystals are stable in the air. The excess flux is removed using water and millimeter-sized single crystal can be obtained.
High-pressure measurements
Piston cylinder cell (PCC) was used to generate hydrostatic pressure up to 2.4 GPa for high-pressure electrical transport measurements. Daphne 7373 was used as the pressure transmitting medium in PCC. The pressure values in PCC were determined from the superconducting transition of Sn36. Diamond anvil cell (DAC) was used to generate the pressure up to 12 GPa. Diamond anvils with 500 µm culet and c-BN gasket with sample chambers of diameter 200 µm were used. Four Pt wires were adhered to the sample and NaCl was used as the pressure transmitting medium. Pressure was calibrated by using the ruby fluorescence shift at room temperature37. Electrical transport measurements were carried out in a Quantum Design physical property measurement system. High-pressure magnetic susceptibility measurements were performed in a miniature PCC using a SQUID magnetometer (MPMS-5 T, Quantum Design).
Note added: During the preparation of this manuscript, we noticed a similar high-pressure work38.
