Elastoresistance measurements on CaKFe${}_4$As${}_4$ and KCa${}_2$Fe${}_4$As${}_4$F${}_2$ with the Fe site of $C_{2v}$ symmetry

Abstract

We report resistance and elastoresistance measurements on (Ba${}_{0.5}$K${}_{0.5}$)Fe${}_2$As${}_2$, CaKFe${}_4$As${}_4$, and KCa${}_2$Fe${}_4$As${}_4$F${}_2$. The Fe-site symmetry is $D_{2d}$ in the first compound but $C_{2v}$ in the latter two, which lifts the degeneracy of the Fe $d_{xz}$ and $d_{yz}$ orbitals. The temperature dependence of the resistance and elastoresistance is similar between the three compounds. Especially, the [110] elastoresistance is enhanced with decreasing temperature irrespective of the Fe-site symmetry. This appears to be in conflict with recent Raman scattering studies on CaKFe${}_4$As${}_4$, which suggest the absence of nematic fluctuations. We consider possible ways of reconciliation and suggest that the present result is important in elucidating the origin of in-plane resistivity anisotropy in iron-based superconductors.
