Bulk evidence of anisotropic s-wave pairing with no sign change in the kagome superconductor CsV 3 Sb 5

The recently discovered kagome superconductors AV Sb (A = K, Rb, Cs) exhibit unusual charge-density-wave (CDW) orders with time-reversal and rotational symmetry breaking. One of the most crucial unresolved issues is identifying the symmetry of the superconductivity that develops inside the CDW phase. Theory predicts a variety of unconventional superconducting symmetries with sign-changing and chiral order parameters. Experimentally, however, superconducting phase information in AV Sb is still lacking. Here we report the impurity effects in CsV Sb using electron irradiation as a phase-sensitive probe of superconductivity. Our magnetic penetration depth measurements reveal that with increasing impurities, an anisotropic fully-gapped state changes to an isotropic full-gap state without passing through a nodal state. Furthermore, transport measurements under pressure show that the double superconducting dome in the pressure-temperature phase diagram survives against sufficient impurities. These results support that CsV Sb is a non-chiral, anisotropic s-wave superconductor with no sign change both at ambient and under pressure.
