s-wave superconductivity in kagome metal CsV3Sb5 revealed by 121/123Sb NQR and 51V NMR measurements

Abstract

We report 121/123Sb nuclear quadrupole resonance (NQR) and 51V nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) measurements on kagome metal CsV3Sb5 with T c=2.5 K. Both 51V NMR spectra and 121/123Sb NQR spectra split after a charge density wave (CDW) transition, which demonstrates a commensurate CDW state. The coexistence of the high temperature phase and the CDW phase between 91 K and 94 K manifests that it is a first order phase transition. At low temperature, electric-field-gradient fluctuations diminish and magnetic fluctuations become dominant. Superconductivity emerges in the charge order state. Knight shift decreases and 1/T1T shows a Hebel--Slichter coherence peak just below T c, indicating that CsV3Sb5 is an s-wave superconductor.
