Breathing mode inducing dynamical pairing in Kagome materials

Abstract

The breathing mode in Kagome materials is a structural modulation that breaks inversion symmetry and has been shown to be a crucial source for intriguing phases in the normal state. In this work, we carry out a full classification of superconducting symmetries in kagome superconductors and demonstrate the emergence of odd-frequency dynamical Cooper pairs entirely driven by the breathing mode. We then show that odd-frequency spin-singlet Cooper pairs can be realized by controlling the breathing mode in kagome lattices with conventional spin-singlet $s$-wave superconductivity. Since odd-frequency pairing is intrinsically nonlocal in time, our results put forward the breathing mode for designing dynamical Cooper pairs in kagome materials.
