Coexisting density-wave and superconducting states along with the large anomalous Hall effect in the absence of local magnetism remain intriguing and enigmatic features of the AV$_3$Sb$_5$ kagome metals (A = K, Rb, Cs). Here, we demonstrate via optical spectroscopy and density-functional calculations that low-energy dynamics of KV$_3$Sb$_5$ is characterized by unconventional localized carriers, which are strongly renormalized across the density-wave transition and indicative of electronic correlations. Strong phonon anomalies are prominent not only below the density-wave transition, but also at high temperatures, suggesting an intricate interplay of phonons with the underlying electronic structure. We further propose the star-of-David and tri-hexagon (inverse star-of-David) configurations for the density-wave order in KV$_3$Sb$_5$. These configurations are strongly reminiscent of $p$-wave states expected in the Hubbard model on the kagome lattice at the filling level of the van Hove singularity. The proximity to this regime should have intriguing and far-reaching implications for the physics of KV$_3$Sb$_5$ and related materials.

Effect of magnetism and phonons on localized carriers in the ferrimagnetic kagome metals GdMn$_6$Sn$_6$ and TbMn$_6$Sn$_6$
可果美金属具有独特的光谱,包括自由载流子在德鲁德型响应的贡献,本地化的载流子被视为一个强烈的温度依赖性本地化峰,并在某些情况下,声子显示强烈的异常。稀土可果美金属系列,$R$ Mn $_6$ Sn $_6$,为研究可果美金属在可变磁序存在下的电子性质提供了一个奇妙的场所。在这里,我们报告的$R$ Mn $_6$ Sn $_6$家族的两个成员,GdMn $_6$ Sn $_6$(面内亚铁磁体)和TbMn $_6$ Sn $_6$(面外亚铁磁体),在宽的能量范围(50 - 18000 cm $^{-1}$,相当于6.2 meV - 2.23 eV)下降到10 K的温度依赖的反射率的研究。在高温下,在大约160 cm $^{-1}$处观察到声子模式,当局域化峰线性地通过该模式时,在低于$\sim$ 150 K的TbMn $_6$ Sn $_6$中该声子模式被屏蔽。在GdMn $_6$ Sn $_6$中,声子的消失伴随着峰位饱和的开始,表明两个特征之间的不寻常的相互作用。
