Abstract

The family of AV3Sb5 (A = K, Rb, Cs) kagome metals exhibits charge density wave (CDW) order, proposed to be chiral, followed by a lower temperature superconducting state. Recent studies have proposed the importance of band structure saddle points proximal to the Fermi energy in governing these two transitions. Here we show the effects of hole doping achieved via chemical substitution of Sn for Sb on the CDW and superconducting states in both KV3Sb5 and RbV3Sb5 and generate a phase diagram. Hole doping lifts the Γ pocket and van Hove singularities toward EF causing the superconducting TC in both systems to increase to about 4.5 K, while rapidly suppressing the CDW state.
