Infrared spectroscopy with DFT shows that in RbTi3Bi5 and CsTi3Bi5, bismuth p-states contribute substantially to the low-energy optical response, correlations are strong, and a 150 K phonon plus localization-peak anomaly may mark the onset of bulk electronic nematicity.

abstract
Kagome metals are known to host Dirac fermions and saddle point Van Hove singularities near Fermi level. With the minimal two-pocket model (Dirac cone + Van Hove singularity), we propose a semiclassical theory to explain the experimentally observed sublinear resistivity in Ni$_3$In and other Kagome metals. We derive the full semiclassical description of kinetic phenomena using Boltzmann equation, and demonstrate that internode electron-electron interaction leads to sublinear in $T$ scaling for both electrical and thermal transport at low temperatures. At higher temperatures above the Dirac node chemical potential, thermal and electric current dissipate through distinct scattering channels, making a ground for Wiedemann-Franz law violation.

Interplay of $d$- and $p$-states in RbTi$_3$Bi$_5$ and CsTi$_3$Bi$_5$ flat-band kagome metals
Infrared spectroscopy with DFT shows that in RbTi3Bi5 and CsTi3Bi5, bismuth p-states contribute substantially to the low-energy optical response, correlations are strong, and a 150 K phonon plus localization-peak anomaly may mark the onset of bulk electronic nematicity.
