In this study, we investigate the topological properties and superconductivity of the nonsymmorphic chiral superconductor NbGe$_2$ using high-resolution angle-resolved pho-toemission spectroscopy (ARPES), transport measurements, and ab initio calculations. The ARPES data revealed exotic chiral surface states on the (100) surface originating from the inherent chiral crystal structure. Supporting calculations indicate that NbGe$_2$ likely hosts elusive Weyl fermions in its bulk electronic structure. Furthermore, we uncovered the signatures of van Hove singularities that can enhance many-body interactions. Additionally, transport measurements demonstrated that NbGe$_2$ exhibits superconductivity below 2K. Overall, our comprehensive results provide the first concrete evidence that NbGe$_2$ is a promising platform for investigating the interplay between non-trivial band topology, possible Weyl fermions, van Hove singularities, and superconductivity in chiral quantum materials. <a class="is-size-7" style="white-space: nowrap;" onclick="document.getElementById('2403.03324v2-abstract-full').style.display = 'none'; document.getElementById('2403.03324v2-abstract-short').style.display = 'inline';">△ Less</a> </span> </p> <p class="is-size-7"><span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Submitted</span> 4 April, 2024; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">v1</span> submitted 5 March, 2024; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">originally announced</span> March 2024. </p> </li> <li class="arxiv-result"> <div class="is-marginless"> <p class="list-title is-inline-block"><a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/2311.14112">arXiv:2311.14112</a> <span> [<a href="https://arxiv.org/pdf/2311.14112">pdf</a>, <a href="https://arxiv.org/format/2311.14112">other</a>] </span> </p> <div class="tags is-inline-block"> <span class="tag is-small is-link tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Materials Science">cond-mat.mtrl-sci</span> </div> <div class="is-inline-block" style="margin-left: 0.5rem"> <div class="tags has-addons"> <span class="tag is-dark is-size-7">doi</span> <span class="tag is-light is-size-7"><a class="" href="https://doi.org/10.1038/s43246-024-00676-0">10.1038/s43246-024-00676-0 <i class="fa fa-external-link" aria-hidden="true"></i></a></span> </div> </div> </div> <p class="title is-5 mathjax"> Phonon collapse and anharmonic melting of the 3D charge-density wave in kagome metals </p> <p class="authors"> <span class="search-hit">Authors:</span> <a href="/search/cond-mat?searchtype=author&query=Gutierrez-Amigo%2C+M">Martin Gutierrez-Amigo</a>, <a href="/search/cond-mat?searchtype=author&query=Dangi%C4%87%2C+%C3%90">脨or膽e Dangi膰</a>, <a href="/search/cond-mat?searchtype=author&query=Guo%2C+C">Chunyu Guo</a>, <a href="/search/cond-mat?searchtype=author&query=Felser%2C+C">Claudia Felser</a>, <a href="/search/cond-mat?searchtype=author&query=Moll%2C+P+J+W">Philip J.

In fact, the lack of consensus on the origin and structure of the CDW hinders the understanding of the emerging phenomena. Here, by employing a non-perturbative treatment of anharmonicity from first-principles calculations, we reveal that the charge-density transition in CsV3Sb5 is driven by the large electron-phonon coupling of the material and that the melting of the CDW state is attributed to ionic entropy and lattice anharmonicity. The calculated transition temperature is in very good agreement with experiments, implying that soft mode physics are at the core of the charge-density wave transition. Contrary to the standard assumption associated with a pure kagome lattice, the CDW is essentially three-dimensional as it is triggered by an unstable phonon at the L point. The absence of involvement of phonons at the M point enables us to constrain the resulting symmetries to six possible space groups. The unusually large electron-phonon linewidth of the soft mode explains why inelastic scattering experiments did not observe any softened phonon. We foresee that large anharmonic effects are ubiquitous and could be fundamental to understand the observed phenomena also in other kagome families. <a class="is-size-7" style="white-space: nowrap;" onclick="document.getElementById('2311.14112v1-abstract-full').style.display = 'none'; document.getElementById('2311.14112v1-abstract-short').style.display = 'inline';">△ Less</a> </span> </p> <p class="is-size-7"><span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Submitted</span> 23 November, 2023; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">originally announced</span> November 2023. </p> <p class="comments is-size-7"> <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Comments:</span> <span class="has-text-grey-dark mathjax">8 pages, 5 figures</span> </p> <p class="comments is-size-7"> <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Journal ref:</span> Communications Materials 5, 234 (2024) </p> </li> <li class="arxiv-result"> <div class="is-marginless"> <p class="list-title is-inline-block"><a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/2309.05847">arXiv:2309.05847</a> <span> [<a href="https://arxiv.org/pdf/2309.05847">pdf</a>, <a href="https://arxiv.org/format/2309.05847">other</a>] </span> </p> <div class="tags is-inline-block"> <span class="tag is-small is-link tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Materials Science">cond-mat.mtrl-sci</span> </div> <div class="is-inline-block" style="margin-left: 0.5rem"> <div class="tags has-addons"> <span class="tag is-dark is-size-7">doi</span> <span class="tag is-light is-size-7"><a class="" href="https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevB.109.174112">10.1103/PhysRevB.109.174112 <i class="fa fa-external-link" aria-hidden="true"></i></a></span> </div> </div> </div> <p class="title is-5 mathjax"> Purely anharmonic charge-density wave in the 2D Dirac semimetal SnP </p> <p class="authors"> <span class="search-hit">Authors:</span> <a href="/search/cond-mat?searchtype=author&query=Gutierrez-Amigo%2C+M">Martin Gutierrez-Amigo</a>, <a href="/search/cond-mat?searchtype=author&query=Yuan%2C+F">Fang Yuan</a>, <a href="/search/cond-mat?searchtype=author&query=Campi%2C+D">Davide Campi</a>, <a href="/search/cond-mat?searchtype=author&query=Schoop%2C+L+M">Leslie M.

In particular, CDWs can induce a metal-insulator transition by coupling two Dirac fermions, resulting in the emergence of a topological phase. Following this idea, here we explore the behavior of three different CDWs in a new 2D layered material, SnP, using both density functional theory calculations and experimental synthesis to study its stability. The layered structure of its bulk counterpart, Sn4P3, suggests that the structure can be synthesized down to the monolayer by exfoliation or chemical means. However, despite the stability of the bulk, the monolayer shows unstable phonons at 螕, K, and M points of the Brillouin zone, which lead to three possible charge-density-wave phases. All three CDWs lead to metastable insulating phases, with the one driven by the the active phonon in the K point being topologically non-trivial under strain. Strikingly, the ground-state structure is only revealed due to the presence of strong anharmonic effects. This, underscores the importance of studying CDWs beyond the conventional harmonic picture, where the system's ground state can be elucidated solely from the harmonic phonon spectra. <a class="is-size-7" style="white-space: nowrap;" onclick="document.getElementById('2309.05847v1-abstract-full').style.display = 'none'; document.getElementById('2309.05847v1-abstract-short').style.display = 'inline';">△ Less</a> </span> </p> <p class="is-size-7"><span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Submitted</span> 11 September, 2023; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">originally announced</span> September 2023. </p> <p class="comments is-size-7"> <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Journal ref:</span> Physical Review B 109, 174112 (2024) </p> </li> <li class="arxiv-result"> <div class="is-marginless"> <p class="list-title is-inline-block"><a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/2306.00593">arXiv:2306.00593</a> <span> [<a href="https://arxiv.org/pdf/2306.00593">pdf</a>, <a href="https://arxiv.org/format/2306.00593">other</a>] </span> </p> <div class="tags is-inline-block"> <span class="tag is-small is-link tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Strongly Correlated Electrons">cond-mat.str-el</span> <span class="tag is-small is-grey tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Materials Science">cond-mat.mtrl-sci</span> </div> <div class="is-inline-block" style="margin-left: 0.5rem"> <div class="tags has-addons"> <span class="tag is-dark is-size-7">doi</span> <span class="tag is-light is-size-7"><a class="" href="https://doi.org/10.1038/s41535-024-00629-3">10.1038/s41535-024-00629-3 <i class="fa fa-external-link" aria-hidden="true"></i></a></span> </div> </div> </div> <p class="title is-5 mathjax"> Distinct switching of chiral transport in the kagome metals KV$_3$Sb$_5$ and CsV$_3$Sb$_5$ </p> <p class="authors"> <span class="search-hit">Authors:</span> <a href="/search/cond-mat?searchtype=author&query=Guo%2C+C">Chunyu Guo</a>, <a href="/search/cond-mat?searchtype=author&query=van+Delft%2C+M+R">Maarten R. van Delft</a>, <a href="/search/cond-mat?searchtype=author&query=Gutierrez-Amigo%2C+M">Martin Gutierrez-Amigo</a>, <a href="/search/cond-mat?searchtype=author&query=Chen%2C+D">Dong Chen</a>, <a href="/search/cond-mat?searchtype=author&query=Putzke%2C+C">Carsten Putzke</a>, <a href="/search/cond-mat?searchtype=author&query=Wagner%2C+G">Glenn Wagner</a>, <a href="/search/cond-mat?searchtype=author&query=Fischer%2C+M+H">Mark H.

So far, no consensus on the microscopic nature of these states has been reached as the proposals struggle to explain all their exotic physical properties. Among these, field-switchable electric magneto-chiral anisotropy (eMChA) in CsV$_3$Sb$_5$ provides intriguing evidence for a rewindable electronic chirality, yet the other family members have not been likewise investigated. Here, we present a comparative study of magneto-chiral transport between CsV$_3$Sb$_5$ and KV$_3$Sb$_5$. Despite their similar electronic structure, KV$_3$Sb$_5$ displays negligible eMChA, if any, and with no field switchability. This is in stark contrast to the non-saturating eMChA in CsV$_3$Sb$_5$ even in high fields up to 35 T. In light of their similar band structures, the stark difference in eMChA suggests its origin in the correlated states. Clearly, the V kagome nets alone are not sufficient to describe the physics and the interactions with their environment are crucial in determining the nature of their low-temperature state. <a class="is-size-7" style="white-space: nowrap;" onclick="document.getElementById('2306.00593v1-abstract-full').style.display = 'none'; document.getElementById('2306.00593v1-abstract-short').style.display = 'inline';">△ Less</a> </span> </p> <p class="is-size-7"><span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Submitted</span> 1 June, 2023; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">originally announced</span> June 2023. </p> <p class="comments is-size-7"> <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Journal ref:</span> npj Quantum Materials, 9, 20 (2024) </p> </li> <li class="arxiv-result"> <div class="is-marginless"> <p class="list-title is-inline-block"><a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/2304.00972">arXiv:2304.00972</a> <span> [<a href="https://arxiv.org/pdf/2304.00972">pdf</a>, <a href="https://arxiv.org/format/2304.00972">other</a>] </span> </p> <div class="tags is-inline-block"> <span class="tag is-small is-link tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Strongly Correlated Electrons">cond-mat.str-el</span> <span class="tag is-small is-grey tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Materials Science">cond-mat.mtrl-sci</span> </div> <div class="is-inline-block" style="margin-left: 0.5rem"> <div class="tags has-addons"> <span class="tag is-dark is-size-7">doi</span> <span class="tag is-light is-size-7"><a class="" href="https://doi.org/10.1038/s41567-023-02374-z">10.1038/s41567-023-02374-z <i class="fa fa-external-link" aria-hidden="true"></i></a></span> </div> </div> </div> <p class="title is-5 mathjax"> Correlated order at the tipping point in the kagome metal CsV$_3$Sb$_5$ </p> <p class="authors"> <span class="search-hit">Authors:</span> <a href="/search/cond-mat?searchtype=author&query=Guo%2C+C">Chunyu Guo</a>, <a href="/search/cond-mat?searchtype=author&query=Wagner%2C+G">Glenn Wagner</a>, <a href="/search/cond-mat?searchtype=author&query=Putzke%2C+C">Carsten Putzke</a>, <a href="/search/cond-mat?searchtype=author&query=Chen%2C+D">Dong Chen</a>, <a href="/search/cond-mat?searchtype=author&query=Wang%2C+K">Kaize Wang</a>, <a href="/search/cond-mat?searchtype=author&query=Zhang%2C+L">Ling Zhang</a>, <a href="/search/cond-mat?searchtype=author&query=Gutierrez-Amigo%2C+M">Martin Gutierrez-Amigo</a>, <a href="/search/cond-mat?searchtype=author&query=Errea%2C+I">Ion Errea</a>, <a href="/search/cond-mat?searchtype=author&query=Vergniory%2C+M+G">Maia G.

However, determining the exact symmetries broken can be challenging due to imperfections such as strain, in particular when multiple electronic orders form complex interactions. This is exemplified by charge order in some kagome systems, which are speculated to show nematicity and flux order from orbital currents. We fabricated highly symmetric samples of a member of this family, CsV$_3$Sb$_5$, and measured their transport properties. We find the absence of measurable anisotropy at any temperature in the unperturbed material, however, a striking in-plane transport anisotropy appears when either weak magnetic fields or strains are present. A symmetry analysis indicates that a perpendicular magnetic field can indeed lead to in-plane anisotropy by inducing a flux order coexisting with more conventional bond order. Our results provide a unifying picture for the controversial charge order in kagome metals and highlight the need for microscopic materials control in the identification of broken symmetries. <a class="is-size-7" style="white-space: nowrap;" onclick="document.getElementById('2304.00972v1-abstract-full').style.display = 'none'; document.getElementById('2304.00972v1-abstract-short').style.display = 'inline';">△ Less</a> </span> </p> <p class="is-size-7"><span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Submitted</span> 3 April, 2023; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">originally announced</span> April 2023. </p> <p class="comments is-size-7"> <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Journal ref:</span> Nature Physics 20, 579 (2024) </p> </li> <li class="arxiv-result"> <div class="is-marginless"> <p class="list-title is-inline-block"><a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/2211.13346">arXiv:2211.13346</a> <span> [<a href="https://arxiv.org/pdf/2211.13346">pdf</a>, <a href="https://arxiv.org/format/2211.13346">other</a>] </span> </p> <div class="tags is-inline-block"> <span class="tag is-small is-link tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Materials Science">cond-mat.mtrl-sci</span> </div> <div class="is-inline-block" style="margin-left: 0.5rem"> <div class="tags has-addons"> <span class="tag is-dark is-size-7">doi</span> <span class="tag is-light is-size-7"><a class="" href="https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevB.107.144307">10.1103/PhysRevB.107.144307 <i class="fa fa-external-link" aria-hidden="true"></i></a></span> </div> </div> </div> <p class="title is-5 mathjax"> Topological phonon analysis of the 2D buckled honeycomb lattice: an application to real materials </p> <p class="authors"> <span class="search-hit">Authors:</span> <a href="/search/cond-mat?searchtype=author&query=Gutierrez-Amigo%2C+M">Martin Gutierrez-Amigo</a>, <a href="/search/cond-mat?searchtype=author&query=Vergniory%2C+M+G">Maia G.

Taking the pure crystal structure as an input, we show that eleven distinct phases are possible, five of which necessarily have non-trivial topology according to topological quantum chemistry. Another four of them are also identified as topological using Wilson loops in an analytical model that includes all the symmetry allowed force constants up to third nearest neighbors, making a total of nine topological phases. We then compute the ab initio phonon spectra for the two-dimensional crystals of Si, Ge, P, As and Sb in this structure and construct its phase diagram. Despite the large proportion of topological phases found in the analytical model, all of the crystals lie in a trivial phase. By analyzing the force constants space using Monte Carlo calculations, we elucidate why topological phonon phases are physically difficult to realize in real materials with this crystal structure. <a class="is-size-7" style="white-space: nowrap;" onclick="document.getElementById('2211.13346v1-abstract-full').style.display = 'none'; document.getElementById('2211.13346v1-abstract-short').style.display = 'inline';">△ Less</a> </span> </p> <p class="is-size-7"><span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Submitted</span> 23 November, 2022; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">originally announced</span> November 2022. </p> <p class="comments is-size-7"> <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Journal ref:</span> Physical Review B 107, 144307 (2023) </p> </li> <li class="arxiv-result"> <div class="is-marginless"> <p class="list-title is-inline-block"><a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/2203.09593">arXiv:2203.09593</a> <span> [<a href="https://arxiv.org/pdf/2203.09593">pdf</a>, <a href="https://arxiv.org/format/2203.09593">other</a>] </span> </p> <div class="tags is-inline-block"> <span class="tag is-small is-link tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Strongly Correlated Electrons">cond-mat.str-el</span> <span class="tag is-small is-grey tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Materials Science">cond-mat.mtrl-sci</span> <span class="tag is-small is-grey tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Superconductivity">cond-mat.supr-con</span> </div> <div class="is-inline-block" style="margin-left: 0.5rem"> <div class="tags has-addons"> <span class="tag is-dark is-size-7">doi</span> <span class="tag is-light is-size-7"><a class="" href="https://doi.org/10.1038/s41586-022-05127-9">10.1038/s41586-022-05127-9 <i class="fa fa-external-link" aria-hidden="true"></i></a></span> </div> </div> </div> <p class="title is-5 mathjax"> Switchable chiral transport in charge-ordered Kagome metal CsV$_3$Sb$_5$ </p> <p class="authors"> <span class="search-hit">Authors:</span> <a href="/search/cond-mat?searchtype=author&query=Guo%2C+C">Chunyu Guo</a>, <a href="/search/cond-mat?searchtype=author&query=Putzke%2C+C">Carsten Putzke</a>, <a href="/search/cond-mat?searchtype=author&query=Konyzheva%2C+S">Sofia Konyzheva</a>, <a href="/search/cond-mat?searchtype=author&query=Huang%2C+X">Xiangwei Huang</a>, <a href="/search/cond-mat?searchtype=author&query=Gutierrez-Amigo%2C+M">Martin Gutierrez-Amigo</a>, <a href="/search/cond-mat?searchtype=author&query=Errea%2C+I">Ion Errea</a>, <a href="/search/cond-mat?searchtype=author&query=Chen%2C+D">Dong Chen</a>, <a href="/search/cond-mat?searchtype=author&query=Vergniory%2C+M+G">Maia G.

While chiral transport signatures are by symmetry allowed in many conductors without a center of inversion, it reaches appreciable levels only in rare cases when an exceptionally strong chiral coupling to the itinerant electrons is present. So far, observations of chiral transport have been limited to materials in which the atomic positions strongly break mirror symmetries. Here, we report chiral transport in the centro-symmetric layered Kagome metal CsV$_3$Sb$_5$, observed via second harmonic generation under in-plane magnetic field. The eMChA signal becomes significant only at temperatures below $T'\sim$ 35 K, deep within the charge-ordered state of CsV$_3$Sb$_5$ ($T_{\mathrm{CDW}}\sim$ 94 K). This temperature dependence reveals a direct correspondence between electronic chirality, unidirectional charge order, and spontaneous time-reversal-symmetry breaking due to putative orbital loop currents. We show that the chirality is set by the out-of-plane field component and that a transition from left- to right-handed transport can be induced by changing the field sign. CsV$_3$Sb$_5$ is the first material in which strong chiral transport can be controlled and switched by small magnetic-field changes, in stark contrast to structurally chiral materials -- a prerequisite for their applications in chiral electronics. <a class="is-size-7" style="white-space: nowrap;" onclick="document.getElementById('2203.09593v2-abstract-full').style.display = 'none'; document.getElementById('2203.09593v2-abstract-short').style.display = 'inline';">△ Less</a> </span> </p> <p class="is-size-7"><span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Submitted</span> 18 October, 2022; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">v1</span> submitted 17 March, 2022; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">originally announced</span> March 2022. </p> <p class="comments is-size-7"> <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Journal ref:</span> Nature 611, 461 (2022) </p> </li> <li class="arxiv-result"> <div class="is-marginless"> <p class="list-title is-inline-block"><a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/2201.07780">arXiv:2201.07780</a> <span> [<a href="https://arxiv.org/pdf/2201.07780">pdf</a>, <a href="https://arxiv.org/ps/2201.07780">ps</a>, <a href="https://arxiv.org/format/2201.07780">other</a>] </span> </p> <div class="tags is-inline-block"> <span class="tag is-small is-link tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Strongly Correlated Electrons">cond-mat.str-el</span> <span class="tag is-small is-grey tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Materials Science">cond-mat.mtrl-sci</span> <span class="tag is-small is-grey tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Superconductivity">cond-mat.supr-con</span> </div> <div class="is-inline-block" style="margin-left: 0.5rem"> <div class="tags has-addons"> <span class="tag is-dark is-size-7">doi</span> <span class="tag is-light is-size-7"><a class="" href="https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevB.106.064510">10.1103/PhysRevB.106.064510 <i class="fa fa-external-link" aria-hidden="true"></i></a></span> </div> </div> </div> <p class="title is-5 mathjax"> 3D Fermi surfaces from charge order in layered CsV$_3$Sb$_5$ </p> <p class="authors"> <span class="search-hit">Authors:</span> <a href="/search/cond-mat?searchtype=author&query=Huang%2C+X">Xiangwei Huang</a>, <a href="/search/cond-mat?searchtype=author&query=Guo%2C+C">Chunyu Guo</a>, <a href="/search/cond-mat?searchtype=author&query=Putzke%2C+C">Carsten Putzke</a>, <a href="/search/cond-mat?searchtype=author&query=Sun%2C+Y">Yan Sun</a>, <a href="/search/cond-mat?searchtype=author&query=Vergniory%2C+M+G">Maia G.

The layered structure of CsV$_3$Sb$_5$ reflects in Brillouin-zone-sized quasi-2D Fermi surfaces and a significant transport anisotropy. Yet here we demonstrate that CsV$_3$Sb$_5$ is a three-dimensional metal within the charge-density-wave (CDW) state. Small 3D pockets play a crucial role in its low-temperature magneto- and quantum transport. Their emergence at $T_{CDW}\sim 93$ K results in an anomalous sudden increase of the in-plane magnetoresistance by 4 orders of magnitude. The presence of these 3D pockets is further confirmed by quantum oscillations under in-plane magnetic fields - demonstrating their closed nature. These results emphasize the impact of interlayer coupling on the Kagome physics in 3D materials. <a class="is-size-7" style="white-space: nowrap;" onclick="document.getElementById('2201.07780v3-abstract-full').style.display = 'none'; document.getElementById('2201.07780v3-abstract-short').style.display = 'inline';">△ Less</a> </span> </p> <p class="is-size-7"><span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Submitted</span> 13 October, 2022; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">v1</span> submitted 19 January, 2022; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">originally announced</span> January 2022. </p> <p class="comments is-size-7"> <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Journal ref:</span> Phys.

Here, we report single crystal growth of Ag3AuSe2 and its transport and optical properties. Single crystals of Ag3AuSe2 were synthesized by slow-cooling from the melt, and grain sizes were confirmed to be greater than 2 mm using electron backscatter diffraction. Optical and transport measurements reveal that Ag3AuSe2 is a highly resistive semiconductor with a band gap of and activation energy around 0.3 eV. Our first-principles calculations show that the experimentally-determined band gap lies between the predicted band gaps from GGA and hybrid functionals. We predict band inversion to be possible by applying tensile strain. The sensitivity of the gap to Ag/Au ordering, chemical substitution, and heat treatment merit further investigation. <a class="is-size-7" style="white-space: nowrap;" onclick="document.getElementById('2201.05699v1-abstract-full').style.display = 'none'; document.getElementById('2201.05699v1-abstract-short').style.display = 'inline';">△ Less</a> </span> </p> <p class="is-size-7"><span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Submitted</span> 14 January, 2022; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">originally announced</span> January 2022. </p> <p class="comments is-size-7"> <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Comments:</span> <span class="has-text-grey-dark mathjax">6 pages, 7 figures</span> </p> <p class="comments is-size-7"> <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Journal ref:</span> Z.
