Intertwined spin-orbital coupled orders in the iron-based superconductors

Journal Article Christensen, Morten H. ; Kang, Jian ; Fernandes, Rafael M. - Physical Review. B

The underdoped phase diagram of the iron-based superconductors exemplifies the complexity common to many correlated materials. Indeed, multiple ordered states that break different symmetries but display comparable transition temperatures are present. Here we argue that such a complexity can be understood within a simple unifying framework. This framework, built to respect the symmetries of the nonsymmorphic space group of the FeAs/Se layer, consists of primary magnetically ordered states and their vestigial phases that intertwine spin and orbital degrees of freedom. All vestigial phases have Ising-like and zero wave-vector order parameters, described in terms of composite spin order and exotic orbital-ordermore »« less

Neutron-scattering measurements of spin excitations in LaFeAsO and Ba(Fe_0.953Co_0.047)2As₂: Evidence for a sharp enhancement of spin fluctuations by nematic order [Sharp enhancement of spin fluctuations by nematic order in iron pnictides]

Journal Article Zhang, Qiang ; Fernandes, Rafael M. ; Lamsal, Jagat ; ... - Physical Review Letters

Here, inelastic neutron scattering is employed to investigate the impact of electronic nematic order on the magnetic spectra of LaFeAsO and Ba(Fe_0.953Co_0.047)₂As₂. These materials are ideal to study the paramagnetic-nematic state, since the nematic order, signaled by the tetragonal-to-orthorhombic transition at T_S, sets in well above the stripe antiferromagnetic ordering at T_N. We find that the temperature-dependent dynamic susceptibility displays an anomaly at T_S followed by a sharp enhancement in the spinspin correlation length, revealing a strong feedback effect of nematic order on the low-energy magnetic spectrum. Our results can be consistently described by a model that attributes the structuralmore »« less

Magnetism, Superconductivity, and Spontaneous Orbital Order in Iron-Based Superconductors: Which Comes First and Why?

Journal Article Chubukov, Andrey V. ; Khodas, M. ; Fernandes, Rafael M. - Physical Review. X

Magnetism and nematic order are the two nonsuperconducting orders observed in iron-based superconductors. To elucidate the interplay between them and ultimately unveil the pairing mechanism, several models have been investigated. In models with quenched orbital degrees of freedom, magnetic fluctuations promote stripe magnetism, which induces orbital order. In models with quenched spin degrees of freedom, charge fluctuations promote spontaneous orbital order, which induces stripe magnetism. Here, we develop an unbiased approach, in which we treat magnetic and orbital fluctuations on equal footing. Key to our approach is the inclusion of the orbital character of the low-energy electronic states into renormalizationmore »« less
