/ Abstract
The connection between unconventional superconductivity and charge density waves (CDWs) has intrigued the condensed matter community and found much interest in the recently discovered superconducting Kagome family of AV_{3}Sb_{5} (A=K, Cs, Rb). X-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopy measurements established that the CDW order in CsV_{3}Sb_{5} comprises of a 2×2×4 structure with stacking of layers in a star-of-David (SD) and inverse-star-of-David (ISD) pattern along the c-axis direction. Such interlayer ordering will induce a vast normalization of the electronic ground state; however, it has not been observed in Fermi surface measurements. Here we report quantum oscillations of CsV_{3}Sb_{5} using tunnel diode oscillator frequency measurements. We observed a large number of frequencies, many of which were not reported. The number of frequencies cannot be explained by DFT calculations when only SD or ISD distortion is considered. Instead, our results are consistent with calculations when interlayer ordering is taken into account, providing strong evidence that the CDW phase of CsV_{3}Sb_{5} has complicated structure distortion which in turn has dramatic effects on the Fermi surface properties.
