Charge bond order and s-wave superconductivity in the kagome lattice with electron-phonon coupling and electron-electron interaction

Abstract

The effects of optical bond phonons coupled to electrons in two-dimensional lattices have attracted much interest recently, with the hope to explore unconventional superconducting mechanism and pairing symmetries. Here we conduct a systematic investigation of such phonon modes in the kagome lattice at and around the upper van Hove filling, in order to unravel new effects of the bond phonons in the presence of the unique sublattice frustration. We combine the singular-mode functional renormalization group and the projector determinant quantum Monte Carlo methods. At the upper van Hove filling and in the absence of the Hubbard interaction $U$, we find there exists an s-wave superconducting state at weaker electron-phonon coupling constant $\lambda$ and higher phonon frequency $\omega$, and a charge bond order (or the valence bond solid) state at larger $\lambda$ and lower $\omega$. The Hubbard interaction $U$ suppresses drastically the s-wave pairing, so that only the charge bond order survives. On the other hand, upon slight doping away from the van Hove filling, we observe that the charge bond order is suppressed due to the breakdown of the perfect Fermi surface nesting, while the superconductivity persists. The s-wave superconductivity and charge bond order may be relevant in the layered kagome superconductors AV${}_3$Sb${}_5$ (A=K, Rb, Cs).
