Intertwined spin and charge orders have been widely studied in high-temperature superconductors, since their fluctuations may facilitate electron pairing; however, they are rarely identified in heavily electron-doped iron selenides. Here,…
Density functional theory in the local or semi-local density approximation is a powerful tool for materials simulation, yet it struggles in many cases to describe collective electronic order that is driven by electronic interactions. In…

Elucidating the microscopic origin of nematic order in iron-based superconducting materials is important because the interactions that drive nematic order may also mediate the Cooper pairing. Nematic order breaks fourfold rotational…
