Abstract
$A$V$_3$Sb$_5$ ($A$ = K, Rb, Cs) is a novel kagome superconductor coexisting with the charge density wave (CDW) order. Identifying the structure of the CDW order is crucial for understanding the exotic normal state and superconductivity in this system. Here, we report $^{51}$V nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and $^{121/123}$Sb nuclear quadrupole resonance (NQR) studies on kagome-metal CsV$_3$Sb$_5$. Below the CDW transition temperature $T_\textrm{CDW} \sim$ 98 K, an abrupt change of spectra was observed, indicating that the transition is of the first order. By further analysing the spectra, we find that the CDW order is commensurate. And most remarkably, the obtained experimental results suggest that the charge modulation of the CDW order is of star-of-David pattern and accompanied by an additional charge modulation in bulk below $T^* \sim$ 40 K. Our results revealing the unconventional CDW order provide new insights into $A$V$_3$Sb$_5$.

Switchable chiral transport in charge-ordered kagome metal CsV3Sb5

TL;DR: In this article , it was shown that the chirality is set by the out-of-plane field component and that a transition from left-to right-handed transport can be induced by changing the field sign.

From quantum matter to high-temperature superconductivity in copper oxides

TL;DR: The discovery of high-temperature superconductivity in the copper oxides in 1986 triggered a huge amount of innovative scientific inquiry but unresolved issues include the astonishing complexity of the phase diagram, the unprecedented prominence of various forms of collective fluctuations, and the simplicity and insensitivity to material details of the ‘normal’ state at elevated temperatures.

Charge-density waves and superlattices in the metallic layered transition metal dichalcogenides

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that charge-density waves and their concomitant periodic structural distortions occur in all the 4d1/5d1 dichalcogenides and related the observed periodicities of these CDW states to the theoretical form of the parent Fermi surfaces.

Spin-Liquid Ground State of the S = 1/2 Kagome Heisenberg Antiferromagnet

TL;DR: This work uses the density matrix renormalization group to perform accurate calculations of the ground state of the nearest-neighbor quantum spin S = 1/2 Heisenberg antiferromagnet on the kagome lattice and provides strong evidence that, for the infinite two-dimensional system, the groundState of this model is a fully gapped spin liquid.

Magnetic-field-induced charge-stripe order in the high-temperature superconductor YBa2Cu3Oy.

TL;DR: Nuclear magnetic resonance measurements are reported showing that high magnetic fields actually induce charge order, without spin order, in the CuO2 planes of YBa2Cu3Oy, and it is argued that it is most probably the same 4a-periodic modulation as in stripe-ordered copper oxides.
