Resistivity anisotropy from the multiorbital Boltzmann equation in nematic FeSe

Abstract

We compute the resistivity anisotropy in the nematic phase of FeSe from the static solution of the multiorbital Boltzmann equation. By introducing disorder at the level of the microscopic multiorbital model we show that even elastic scattering by localized impurities may lead to non-trivial anisotropic renormalization of the electronic velocities, challenging the usual understanding of transport based only on cold- and hot-spots effects. Our model takes into account both the $xz/yz$ and the recently proposed $xy$ nematic ordering. We show that the latter one has a crucial role in order to reproduce the experimentally-measured anisotropy, providing a direct fingerprint of the different nematic scenarios on the bulk transport property of FeSe.
