Chiral Pair Density Waves with Residual Fermi Arcs in RbV3Sb5

The chiral 2×2 charge order has been reported and confirmed in the kagome superconductor RbV3Sb5,while its interplay with superconductivity remains elusive owing to its lowest superconducting transition temperature Tc of about 0.85 K in the AV3Sb5 family(A=K,Rb,Cs)that severely challenges electronic spectroscopic probes.Here,utilizing dilution-refrigerator-based scanning tunneling microscopy down to 30 mK,we observe chiral 2 × 2 pair density waves with residual Fermi arcs in RbV3Sb5.We find a superconducting gap of 150 μeV with substantial residual in-gap states.The spatial distribution of this gap exhibits chiral 2×2 modulations,signaling a chiral pair density wave(PDW).Our quasi-particle interference imaging of the zero-energy residual states further reveals arc-like patterns.We discuss the relation of the gap modulations with the residual Fermi arcs under the space-momentum correspondence between PDW and Bogoliubov Fermi states.
