Abstract

First-principles density functional theory calculations are performed to understand the electronic structure and interaction parameters for recently discovered superconducting Kagome metal CsVSb. A systematic analysis of the tight-binding parameters based on maximally localized Wannier function method demonstrates that the out-of-plane Sb- orbital is a key element in complete description of the three Van Hove singularity structures known in this material at point near the Fermi level. Further, the correlation strengths are also largely determined by Sb- states. Based on constrained random phase approximation, we find that on-site and inter-site interaction parameter are both significantly affected by the screening effect of Sb- orbitals. As the role of this previously unnoticed orbital state can be tuned or controlled by out-of-plane lattice parameters, we examine the electronic structure and particularly the evolution of Van Hove singularity points as a function of strain and pressure, which can serve as useful knobs to control the material properties.
