Monolayer Kagome metals AV₃Sb₅.

ABSTRACT: Recently, layered kagome metals AV₃Sb₅ (A = K, Rb, and Cs) have emerged as a fertile platform for exploring frustrated geometry, correlations, and topology. Here, using first-principles and mean-field calculations, we demonstrate that AV₃Sb₅ can crystallize in a mono-layered form, revealing a range of properties that render the system unique. Most importantly, the two-dimensional monolayer preserves intrinsically different symmetries from the three-dimensional layered bulk, enforced by stoichiometry. Consequently, the van Hove singularities, logarithmic divergences of the electronic density of states, are enriched, leading to a variety of competing instabilities such as doublets of charge density waves and s- and d-wave superconductivity. We show
