V Sn ( = Sc, Y, or rare earth) is a new family of kagome metals that have a similar vanadium structural motif as V Sb ( = K, Rb, Cs) compounds. Unlike V Sb , ScV Sn is the only compound among the series of V Sn that displays a charge density wave (CDW) order at ambient pressure, yet it shows no supe...
