Abstract
The newly discovered kagome superconductors AV3Sb5 (A = K, Rb, and Cs) continue to bring surprises in generating unusual phenomena and physical properties, including the anomalous Hall effect, unconventional charge density wave, electronic nematicity, and time-reversal symmetry breaking. Here we report an unexpected emergence of multiple flat band-like nondispersive features in the AV3Sb5 superconductors. By performing high-resolution angle-resolved photoemission (ARPES) measurements, we observed four branches of nondispersive features that span over the entire momentum space. The appearance of the nondispersive features is not anticipated from the band structure calculations and cannot be accounted for by the known mechanisms of flat band generation. It is intimately related to the evolution of Van Hove singularities. Here we observe such emergence of multiple nondispersive features in solid materials. Our findings provide insights in revealing the underlying mechanism that governs the unusual behaviors in the kagome superconductors. They also provide a pathway in producing nondispersive features and set a platform to study flat band related physics.
