Abstract

The quasi-two-dimensional kagome superconductors $A$V${}_{3}$Sb${}_{5}$ ($A$ $=$ K, Rb, and Cs) have attracted great interest due to various exotic quantum phenomena, such as topological charge density waves and the giant anomalous Hall effect. Here, the authors find two-dome unconventional superconductivity in CsV${}_{3}$Sb${}_{5}$ under high pressure. They also confirm the absence of a structural phase transition up to 43.1 GPa through high-pressure synchrotron x-ray diffraction measurements, suggesting that the novel reemergent superconductivity dome can be attributed to the Fermi surface reconstruction caused by the Lifshitz transition.
