Raman scattering as a probe of charge nematic fluctuations in iron based superconductors

Superconductivity 2014-07-22 v2 Strongly Correlated Electrons

Abstract

We report Raman scattering measurement of charge nematic fluctuations in the tetragonal phase of BaFe2_2As2_2 and Sr(Fe1x_{1-x}Cox_x)2_2As2_2 (x=0.04) single crystals. In both systems, the observed nematic fluctuations are found to exhibit divergent Curie-Weiss like behavior with very similar characteristic temperature scales, indicating a universal tendency towards charge nematic order in 122 iron-based superconductors.
