    Abstract

    The investigation of electronic order-quantum phase interplay in kagome lattices commonly employs the extended kagome-Hubbard model, where the critical parameters comprise on-site (U) and intersite (V) Coulomb interactions. In prototypical kagome metals AV3Sb5 (A=K, Rb, Cs), the geometrically frustrated quasi-two-dimensional architecture induces pressure-dependent complexity in vanadium d-electron correlations, necessitating systematic theoretical scrutiny. Utilizing the d−dp model within constrained random phase approximation (cRPA), we quantified U, V, and Hund's coupling J under hydrostatic pressure (0–9 GPa). While KV3Sb5 and RbV3Sb5 exhibit pressure-insensitive interaction parameters, CsV3Sb5 manifests anomalous discontinuities in U and V near 0.2 GPa, suggesting a first-order electronic phase transition. This work establishes cRPA-derived interaction landscapes as critical predictors for pressure-tunable quantum phenomena in correlated kagome systems, offering insight into the understanding of the interplay between the charge density wave transition and the double superconductivity dome in CsV3Sb5 at low pressure.
