Abstract

The electronic instabilities in CsV 3 Sb 5 are believed to originate from the V 3 d -electrons on the kagome plane, however the role of Sb 5 p -electrons for 3-dimensional orders is largely unexplored. Here, using resonant tender X-ray scattering and high-pressure X-ray scattering, we report a rare realization of conjoined charge density waves (CDWs) in CsV 3 Sb 5 , where a 2 × 2 × 1 CDW in the kagome sublattice and a Sb 5 p -electron assisted 2 × 2 × 2 CDW coexist. At ambient pressure, we discover a resonant enhancement on Sb L 1 -edge (2 s →5 p ) at the 2 × 2 × 2 CDW wavevectors. The resonance, however, is absent at the 2 × 2 × 1 CDW wavevectors. Applying hydrostatic pressure, CDW transition temperatures are separated, where the 2 × 2 × 2 CDW emerges 4 K above the 2 × 2 × 1 CDW at 1 GPa. These observations demonstrate that symmetry-breaking phases in CsV 3 Sb 5 go beyond the minimal framework of kagome electronic bands near van Hove filling.
