We propose that the orbital angular momentum of the conduction electrons in the Iron-based superconductors is activated in their low energy physics. Using a five-band tight-binding model derived from fitting the LDA band structure, we find…
Recent experimental developments in the iron pnictides have unambiguously demonstrated the existence of in-plane electronic anisotropy in the absence of the long-range magnetic order. Such anisotropy can arise from orbital ordering, which…
We determine theoretically the effect of spin-orbit coupling on the magnetic excitation spectrum of itinerant multi-orbital systems, with specific application to iron-based superconductors. Our microscopic model includes a realistic…
A number of recent experiments exhibit electronic anisotropy in the iron pnictides, and there is a growing body of experimental evidence that its origin is related to orbital ordering in Fe d_{xz} and d_{yz} orbitals. We examine this…
Recent finding of an {\it unusual} in-plane resistivity anisotropy in the underdoped 122-family at high temperature ($T$) suggests an orbital nematic (ON) order, posing a challenge to extant theories. The {\it sign} of the anisotropy…
We examine the appearance of the experimentally-observed stripe spin-density-wave magnetic order in five different orbital models of the iron pnictide parent compounds. A restricted mean-field ansatz is used to determine the magnetic phase…
In this paper we study the orbital weak-field susceptibility of two-dimensional diffusive mesoscopic systems. For the previously unstudied regime of temperatures lower than the mean level spacing we find unexpected strong temperature as…
The in-plane resistivity and uniform magnetic susceptibility anisotropies of $BaFe_{2}As_{2}$ are obtained with a new method, in which a large symmetry-breaking uniaxial strain is applied using a substrate with a very anisotropic thermal…
Nematic orders emerge nearly universally in iron-based superconductors, but elucidating their origins is challenging because of intimate couplings between orbital and magnetic fluctuations. The iron-based ladder material BaFe2S3, which…
Through detailed electronic structure simulations we show that the electronic orbital ordering (between d$_{yz}$ and d$_{xz}$ bands) takes place due to local breaking of in-plane symmetry that generates two non-equivalent $a$, $b$…
Spin fluctuations are considered to be one of the candidates that drive a sign-reversed s^{\pm} superconducting state in the iron pnictides. In the magnetic scenario, whether the spin fluctuation spectrum exhibits certain unique fine…
We study the orbital-dependent superconducting pairing in a five-orbital t-J1-J2 model for iron pnictides. Depending on the orbital selectivity of electron correlations and the orbital characters along the Fermi surface, the superconducting…
The main features in iron-based superconductors would be (i) the orthorhombic transition accompanied by remarkable softening of shear modulus, (ii) high-Tc superconductivity close to the orthorhombic phase, and (iii) nematic transition in…
The so-called neutron spin resonance consists of a prominent enhancement of the magnetic response at a particular energy and momentum transfer upon entering the superconducting state of unconventional superconductors. In the case of…
We investigated the form of the orbital ordering in the electronic nematic phase of the Iron-based superconductors by applying a group theoretical analysis on a realistic five-band model. We find the orbital order can be either of the…
Magnetic behavior of BaMoP$_2$O$_8$ with the spatially anisotropic triangular arrangement of the $S=1$ Mo$^{4+}$ ions is explored using thermodynamic measurements, neutron diffraction, and density-functional band-structure calculations. A…
Correlated electron systems, particularly iron-based superconductors, are extremely sensitive to strain, which inevitably occurs in the crystal growth process. Built-in strain of this type has been proposed as a possible explanation for…
We present a general theory of multiorbital spin waves in magnetically ordered metallic systems. Motivated by the itinerant magnetism of iron-based superconductors, we compare the magnetic excitations for two different scenarios: when the…
We propose orbital fluctuations in a multi-band ground state as the superconducting pairing mechanism in the new iron-based materials. We develop a general SU(4) theoretical framework for studying a two-orbital model and discuss a number of…
The theory of orbital magnetism in disordered metals is reviewed, and extended to include a broad range of temperatures and fields. Sample-to-sample fluctuations in the orbital magnetic susceptibility are studied. In a given sample these…
