Magnetic field-induced momentum-dependent symmetry breaking in a kagome superconductor

Nature Physics (2026)Cite this article When several degrees of freedom in quantum materials have similar energy scales, the intertwined electronic orders, which exhibit broken symmetries, are often strongly coupled. Recent studies on kagome superconductors, such as CsV3Sb5, report rotational and time-reversal symmetry breaking linked to a charge density wave. Here we observe a momentum-selective response of the electronic structure of CsV3Sb5 to an external magnetic field. By performing angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy in a tunable magnetic field, we demonstrate that the response of the electronic structure is compatible with piezomagnetism along with strong orbital selectivity. Our results show that the origin of the time-reversal symmetry breaking is associated with the vanadium Van Hove singularities at the onset of the charge-density-wave order. We also demonstrate the presence of fluctuations beyond the charge ordering temperature. Our results reveal that magnetic fields can be used as tuning knobs for disentangling intertwined orders in the momentum space for quantum materials.This is a preview of subscription content, access via your institution Access Nature and 54 other Nature Portfolio journals Get Nature+, our best-value online-access subscription $32.99 / 30 days cancel any timeSubscribe to this journal Receive 12 print issues and online access $259.00 per yearonly $21.58 per issueBuy this articleUSD 39.95Prices may be subject to local taxes which are calculated during checkoutAll data needed to evaluate the conclusions are available from the corresponding authors upon reasonable request.

(d)-(e) The corresponding spectral images along cut1 indicated in (a). (g) The spectral image obtained by subtracting (e) from (f). (h)-(k) Same as (d)-(g) but along cut2 indicated in (a).(a)-(c) Constant energy contours at -0.35 eV without a magnetic field, with +1.6 mT, and with -1.6 mT, respectively. The yellow arrows point to the Fermi surface sheets that broaden substantially under the corresponding magnetic field. (d)-(f) Spectral images taken along cut1 and cut2 indicated in (a), with cut directions perpendicular to the Fermi surface sheets. Selective momentum broadening of the α and β bands is evident from both the Fermi surface sheets and the corresponding band spectral images.(a) Simulated spectral images to reproduce the ARPES observations based on the band structure obtained by DFT calculations (black dashed line in (c)). The DFT band dispersions were extracted along the momentum path along cut1 in Fig. 2b of the main text. Distinct imaginary parts of the self-energies were applied to the left and right momentum regions in each panel to simulate the momentum-selective spectral broadening under a magnetic field. (b) Simulated magneto-dichroic spectral image by subtracting the left panel from the right panel in (a). (c) Measured magneto-dichroic spectral image from Fig. 2h in main text. (d)-(f) Same as (a)-(c) but simulating the magneto-dichroic spectral image along cut2 in Fig. 2b of the main text.Constant energy contours at -0.2 eV consist of three separate DA30 deflector mode mappings on the same sample, showing the two opposite K regions using a helium lamp light source. The mappings were taken at magnetic fields of -2.1 mT, 0 mT, and 2.1 mT. The green arrows point to the Fermi surface sheets respond most prominently to the magnetic field. The two Fermi surface sheets around the two opposite K regions exhibit the same behavior, which is also evident by our observations in Fig. 2c,d of the main text considering the crystalline translational symmetry.(a) Constant energy contour under zero field calculated at E - EF = -0.26 eV using experimental geometry and inputs. Photon incidence direction and the s and p polarizations of photons are illustrated by the hν/c and the symbols on the top left. (b) ARPES spectra of Cut 1 spanned by the vertical cyan line in (a), similar to experiments performed in main text Fig. 2(e). The momentum distribution curve (MDC) taken at E - EF = -0.2 eV is shown on top. A Fermi-Dirac distribution function of 20 K convolved with a putative 20 meV experimental resolution is applied to the calculated data. (c, d) Same as (b), but under external magnetic fields of +117.5 and -117.5 T, respectively. (e - g) Spin integrated MDCs reproduced from (b-d) and their spin-resolved components projected along z under 0, +117.5, and -117.5 T, respectively. (h) Spin-integrated MDCs taken at E - EF = -0.2 eV of Cut 1 but at low fields of 0, +2.35, and -2.35 T.Source dataThe parameters are set as t = 1 and μ = -0.08. Bz = 0 to focus on the effect of Φ1, which is varied as indicated in each panel (Φ1 = 0, 0.01, and 0.2). As expected, the Fermi surface distortion is negligible for small Φ1.Source data(a) Fermi surface for t = 1, μ = -0.08, Φ1 = 0 and Bz = 0. The horizontal mirror plane is preserved. (b) Fermi surface with t = 1 and μ = -0.08, but now with Φ1 = 0.01 and a positive field Φ2Bz = 0.1. (c) Same as (b) but with a negative field Φ2Bz = -0.1. In both (b) and (c), the horizontal mirror symmetry and the C6 symmetries are broken, consistent with the symmetry-breaking behavior observed in the ARPES data from the perspective of the spectral weight distribution.Source data(a) Fermi pocket diameter as a function of the azimuthal angle obtained by fitting the radial MDCs without and with a magnetic field. The curves at -1.6 mT and 1.6 mT are offset for clarity with the reference lines shown for each. Error bars represent the standard deviation of the Lorentzian fits to the corresponding MDC peaks along different Fermi surface directions with 95% confidence interval. (b) Square of the Fermi momentum for -1.6 mT normalized by the zero field value overlaid with the fitting results using Eq. 7. Error bars are derived from the corresponding error bars in (a). (c) Fermi pocket diameter for -1.6 mT and 1.6 mT normalized by its zero-field value measured at 35 K. Error bars are derived from the corresponding error bars in (a). All curves are fitted with the function A + B \(\cos\)(2(θ + π)). The red and blue dashed lines indicate the deviation of the long axes of the elliptical Fermi pockets away from the K point at -1.6 mT (6.9∘) and 1.6 mT (2.3∘), respectively.Source dataSupplementary Notes I-VI and Figs. 1–9.Source data for the momentum distribution curves at different temperatures and the fitting results.Source data for the momentum distribution curves under different magnetic fields and the fitting results.Source data for the momentum distributions curves and the extracted Fermi surface diameters along different in-plane azimuthal directions, the extracted spectral width difference between K and K’ and the Fermi surface anisotropic ratio as a function of temperature.Source data for the spin-integrated and spin-resolved momentum distribution curves under different magnetic fields from theoretical calculations.Source data for the spectral weight distribution of the Fermi surface obtained by the phenomenological model in the absence of a magnetic field.Source data for the spectral weight distribution of the Fermi surface obtained by the phenomenological model in the presence of a magnetic field.Source data for the extracted Fermi surface diameter and square of the Fermi momentum along different in-plane azimuthal directions.Springer Nature or its licensor (for example a society or other partner) holds exclusive rights to this article under a publishing agreement with the author(s) or other rightsholder(s); author self-archiving of the accepted manuscript version of this article is solely governed by the terms of such publishing agreement and applicable law.Reprints and permissionsHuang, J., Ren, Z., Tan, H. et al.
