Physics Graduate Student Seminar with Zack Rehfuss on Quantum Oscillations in kagome metals CsTi3Bi5 and RbTi3Bi5

We report quantum oscillation measurements on the kagome compounds ATi₃Bi₅ (A=Rb, Cs) in magnetic fields up to 41.5 T and temperatures down to 350 mK. In addition to the frequencies observed in previous studies, we have observed multiple unreported frequencies above 2000 T in CsTi₃Bi₅ using a tunnel diode oscillator technique. We compare these results against density functional theory calculations and find good agreement with the calculations in the number of peaks observed, frequency, and the dimensionality of the Fermi surface. For RbTi₃Bi₅ we have obtained a different quantum oscillation spectrum, although calculated quantum oscillation frequencies for the Rb compound are remarkably similar to the Cs compound, calling for further studies.
