| contents | Kagome metals with the Fermi energy tuned near the van Hove singularities (vHss) have shown to host exotic phases including unconventional superconductivity and a chiral flux phase arising from a charge density wave. However, most quantum oscillations studies of the electronic structure of kagome metals focus on compounds which electronically or magnetically order, obscuring the unperturbed vHs. Here we present quantum oscillation measurements of YV$_6$Sn$_6$ which contains a pristine kagome lattice free from long range order. We discovered quantum oscillations corresponding to a large orbit ($\approx$70% of the Brillouin Zone area) with the heaviest mass ever observed in vanadium based kagome metals ($\approx3.3 m_e$), consistent with a Fermi pocket whose Fermi level is near the vHs. Comparing with first principles calculations suggests that the effective mass of this pocket is highly sensitive to the position of Fermi level. Our study establishes the enhanced density of states associated with a vHs in a kagome metal, allowing further insight into a potential driving mechanism for the unconventional electronic orderings in this class of materials. |
