Kagome Lattice Structures

Caption

The kagome lattice is composed of three interwoven triangular lattices. For KV3Sb5, each such triangular lattice (denoted red, blue, and green) represent one type of Vanadium sublattice which together form the Kagome metal. The particular kagome lattice structure leads to intriguing quantum effects which yields collective electronic quantum states such as a potentially unprecedented form of superconductivity.
