摘要

The interplay between superconductivity and the charge-density wave (CDW) order, and its evolution with carrier density, is central to the physics of many quantum materials, notably high-Tc cuprates and kagome metals. Hole-doped kagome compounds exhibit puzzling electronic phases and, as chemical substitution inevitably introduces quenched disorder, their properties remain poorly understood. Here, by leveraging the sensitivity of nuclear quadrupole resonance to local and static orderings, we uncover new features, primarily the incipient and fragmented CDW phases, in the charge landscape of CsV3Sb5−xSnx. Static CDW puddles are observed well above the transition temperature, a hallmark of pinning by defects. Their doping and temperature evolution indicate that, in the absence of disorder, the inverse Star-of-David π-shifted (ISD-π) CDW order would vanish near x = 0.12, between the two superconducting domes. This critical doping represents a hidden quantum critical point. Nevertheless, the ISD-π pattern persists well beyond previous reports, although its volume fraction is progressively reduced up to the critical doping at which it seems to saturate. We establish that carrier doping promotes fragmentation of the ISD-π order, whereas randomness preserves the ISD-π patches.
