In this work, we study the coupling of the fully symmetric vibration mode of arsenic atoms to magnetism in a Ba ( Fe 1 - x Au x ) 2 As 2 system by polarization-resolved Raman spectroscopy and neutron diffraction. In this system, there are two phase transitions: a tetragonal-to-orthorhombic structural phase transition at temperature T S and a magnetic phase transition into collinear spin-density wave (SDW) state at temperature T N ( T S ). T S and T N almost coincide in the pristine compound, whereas they differ by as much as 8 K for compounds with dilute gold substitution for iron. Raman coupling to the A g (As) phonon is forbidden for the X Y scattering geometry in the tetragonal phase above T S , whereas it becomes allowed in the orthorhombic phase below T S : The emerging mode's intensity indicates the lattice orthorhombicity. Furthermore, we find that upon cooling below T S , first, weak A g (As) phonon mode intensity appears in the X Y scattering geometry spectra; however, the mode's intensity is significantly enhanced in the magnetic phase below T N . The A g (As) phonon also shows an asymmetric line shape below T N and an anomalous linewidth broadening upon Au doping. We describe the anomalous behavior of the A g (As) mode in the X Y scattering geometry using a Fano model involving the A g (As) phonon interacting with the B 2 g ( D 4 h )-symmetry-like electron-hole continuum. We conclude that the temperature dependence of light coupling amplitude to the A g (As) phonon follows the evolution of the magnetic order parameter M ( T ) . We propose that the intensity enhancement of the A g (As) phonon in the X Y scattering geometry below T N is due to electronic anisotropy induced by the collinear SDW order parameter.
