Title: Realizing Kagome Band Structure in Two-Dimensional Kagome Surface States of RV6Sn6 (R = Gd, Ho)

Journal Article · · Physical Review Letters

Here, we report angle resolved photoemission experiments on a newly discovered family of kagome metals RV6Sn6 (R = Gd, Ho). Intrinsic bulk states and surface states of the vanadium kagome layer are differentiated from those of other atomic sublattices by the real-space resolution of the measurements with a small beam spot. Characteristic Dirac cone, saddle point, and flat bands of the kagome lattice are observed. Our results establish the two-dimensional (2D) kagome surface states as a new platform to investigate the intrinsic kagome physics.
