Electronic instabilities of kagome metals: saddle points and Landau theory

Kavli Affiliate: Leon Balents | First 5 Authors: Takamori Park, Mengxing Ye, Leon Balents, , | Summary: We study electronic instabilities of a kagome metal with a Fermi energy close to saddle points at the hexagonal Brillouin zone face centers. Using parquet renormalization group, we determine the leading and subleading instabilities, finding superconducting, charge, orbital […]
