摘要

Determining the types of superconducting order in quantum materials is a challenge. This is especially true when several degrees of freedom contribute to the fermiology and when superconductivity competes with other symmetry-breaking orders. One example is the kagome-lattice superconductor CsV3Sb5, in which multiband superconductivity coexists with a charge order that substantially reduces the space group symmetries of the compound. Here we demonstrate the presence of two superconducting regimes in CsV3Sb5 that are characterized by distinct transport and thermodynamic properties. Our results reveal a substantial quasiparticle weight in a high-temperature regime. At lower temperatures, this weight is removed through the formation of a second gap. We argue that the band with a gap opening at lower temperatures continues to host low-energy quasiparticles, possibly due to the nodal structure of the gap. Taken together, our results present evidence for band-selective superconductivity with uncoupled superconducting gaps.
