Microscopic origin of the nemato-elastic coupling and dynamics of hybridized collective nematic-phonon excitations

Morten H. Christensen, Michael Schütt, Avraham Klein +1

Electronically-driven nematic order breaks the rotational symmetry of a system, e.g., through a Pomeranchuk instability of the Fermi surface, with a concomitant distortion of the l…
