Conventional superconductivity in the doped kagome superconductor Cs(V_0.86Ta_0.14)₃Sb₅ from vortex lattice studies.

ABSTRACT: A hallmark of unconventional superconductors is a complex electronic phase diagram where intertwined orders of charge-spin-lattice degrees of freedom compete and coexist. While the kagome metals such as CsV₃Sb₅ also exhibit complex behavior, involving coexisting charge density wave order and superconductivity, much is unclear about the microscopic origin of the superconducting pairing. We study the vortex lattice in the superconducting state of Cs(V_0.86Ta_0.14)₃Sb₅, where the Ta-doping suppresses charge order and enhances superconductivity. Using small-angle neutron scattering, a strictly bulk probe, we show that the vortex lattice exhibits a strikingly conventional behavior. This includes a triangular symmetry with a period
