S-Wave Superconductivity in Kagome Metal CsV$_{3}$Sb$_{5}$ Revealed by $^{121/123}$Sb NQR and $^{51}$V NMR Measurements

2021 
We report $^{121/123}$Sb nuclear quadrupole resonance (NQR) and $^{51}$V nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) measurements on kagome metal CsV$_3$Sb$_5$ with $T_{\rm c}=2.5$ K. Both $^{51}$V NMR spectra and $^{121/123}$Sb NQR spectra split after a charge density wave (CDW) transition, which demonstrates a commensurate CDW state. The coexistence of the high temperature phase and the CDW phase between $91$ K and $94$ K manifests that it is a first order phase transition. At low temperature, electric-field-gradient fluctuations diminish and magnetic fluctuations become dominant. Superconductivity emerges in the charge order state. Knight shift decreases and $1/T_{1}T$ shows a Hebel--Slichter coherence peak just below $T_{\rm c}$, indicating that CsV$_3$Sb$_5$ is an s-wave superconductor.
