Lattice geometry, topological electron behaviour and the competition between different possible ground states all play a role in determining the properties of materials with a kagome lattice structure. In particular, the compounds KV 3 Sb 5 , CsV 3 Sb 5 and RbV 3 Sb 5 all feature a kagome net of van...
