Revealing the immediate formation of two-fold rotation symmetry in charge-density-wave state of Kagome superconductor CsV$_3$Sb$_5$ by optical polarization rotation measurement

Abstract: We report the observation of two-fold rotation symmetry in charge density wave (CDW) state in the newly discovered Kagome superconductor CsV$3$Sb$_5$. Below its CDW transition temperature ($T{CDW}$), the polarization rotation of the reflected laser beam promptly emerges and increases close to about 1 mrad, and the rotation angle shows two-fold rotation symmetry. With femtosecond laser pulse pumping, the rotation angle can be easily suppressed and then recovers in several picoseconds accompanied with coherent oscillations. Significantly, the oscillations in the signal also experience a 180 degree periodic change. Our investigation provides clear optical evidence for the formation of nematic order with two-fold rotation symmetry just below $T_{CDW}$. The results imply a immediate development of nematicity and possible time-reversal symmetry breaking in CDW state of CsV$_3$Sb$_5$.
