Nematicity and superconductivity: Competition versus cooperation

Xiao Chen, S. Maiti, R. M. Fernandes +1

Electronic nematic behavior has been identified and studied in iron-based superconductors for some time, particularly in the well-known BaFeAs system, where it is well-know…

Nematic correlation length in iron-based superconductors probed by inelastic x-ray scattering

A. M. Merritt, F. Weber, J. -P. Castellan +7

Nematicity is ubiquitous in electronic phases of high- superconductors, particularly in the Fe-based systems. We used inelastic x-ray scattering to extract the temperature-dep…

Soft phonons reveal the nematic correlation length in Ba(FeCo)As

F. Weber, D. Parshall, L. Pintschovius +8

Nematicity is ubiquitous in electronic phases of high- superconductors, particularly in the Fe-based systems. While several experiments have probed nematic fluctuations, they…

Local nematic susceptibility in stressed BaFeAs from NMR electric field gradient measurements

T. Kissikov, R. Sarkar, M. Lawson +10

The electric field gradient (EFG) tensor at the As site couples to the orbital occupations of the As p-orbitals and is a sensitive probe of local nematicity in BaFeAs$_2…

Finite-momentum nematic fluctuations soften phonons in the superconducting state of Ba(FeCo)As

F. Weber, D. Parshall, L. Pintschovius +6

Nematic order is ubiquitous in liquid crystals and is characterized by a rotational symmetry breaking in an otherwise uniform liquid. Recently a similar phenomenon has been observe…

Interplay between tetragonal magnetic order, stripe magnetism, and superconductivity in iron-based materials

Jian Kang, Xiaoyu Wang, A. V. Chubukov +1

Motivated by recent experiments in BaKFeAs {[}A. E. Böhmer \textit{et al}, to be published{]}, we analyze the type of spin-density wave (SDW) order in dop…

Crossover from spin-waves to diffusive spin excitations in underdoped Ba(FeCo)As

G. S. Tucker, R. M. Fernandes, D. K. Pratt +12

Using inelastic neutron scattering, we show that the onset of superconductivity in underdoped Ba(FeCo)As coincides with a crossover from well-defined spin…

Gap nodes induced by coexistence with antiferromagnetism in iron-based superconductors

S. Maiti, R. M. Fernandes, A. V. Chubukov

We investigate the pairing in iron pnictides in the coexistence phase, which displays both superconducting and antiferromagnetic orders. By solving the pairing problem on the Fermi…

Paramagnetic Spin Correlations in CaFe2As2 Single Crystals

S. O. Diallo, D. K. Pratt, R. M. Fernandes +13

Magnetic correlations in the paramagnetic phase of CaFe2As2 (T_N=172 K) have been examined by means of inelastic neutron scattering from 180 K (~ 1.05 T_N) up to 300 K (~1.8 T_N).…

Effects of nematic fluctuations on the elastic properties of iron arsenide superconductors

Rafael M. Fernandes, Lindsay H. VanBebber, Shobo Bhattacharya +7

We demonstrate that the changes in the elastic properties of the FeAs systems, as seen in our resonant ultrasound spectroscopy data, can be naturally understood in terms of fluctua…
