Spin-Driven Nematic Instability of the Multi-Orbital Hubbard Model: Application to Iron-Based Superconductors

M. H. Christensen, Jian Kang, B. M. Andersen +1

Nematic order resulting from the partial melting of density-waves has been proposed as the mechanism to explain nematicity in iron-based superconductors. An outstanding question, h…
