To understand the nematicity in Fe-based superconductors, nontrivial $k$-dependence of the orbital polarization ($\Delta E_{xz}(k)$, $\Delta E_{yz}(k)$) in the nematic phase, such as the sign reversal of the orbital splitting between…

We analyze superconductivity in a multi-orbital fermionic system near the onset of a nematic order, using doped FeSe as an example. We associate nematicity with a spontaneous polarization between $d_{\text{xz}}$ and $d_{\text{yz}}$ orbitals…

Electron correlations play a central role in iron-based superconductors. In these systems, multiple Fe $3d$-orbitals are active in the low-energy physics, and they are not all degenerate. For these reasons, the role of orbital-selective…

Nematicity and magnetism are two key features in Fe-based superconductors, and their interplay is one of the most important unsolved problems. In FeSe, the magnetic order is absent below the structural transition temperature $T_{str}=90$K,…

Nematic order resulting from the partial melting of density-waves has been proposed as the mechanism to explain nematicity in iron-based superconductors. An outstanding question, however, is whether the microscopic electronic model for…

Although the existence of nematic order in iron-based superconductors is now a well-established experimental fact, its origin remains controversial. Nematic order breaks the discrete lattice rotational symmetry by making the $x$ and $y$…

We address two important issues that arise in recent studies of iron-based superconductivity. (1) Why are the T_c of A_xFe_{2-y}Se_2 and the single unit cell FeSe on SrTiO$_3$ so high despite both only have electron pockets? (2) What (if…

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…

Orbital-selective correlations have been observed to play an important role in Fe-based superconductors. Here, in contrast to previous site-local Mott transition-based origins, we present a band-theory-based mechanism for orbital-selective…

To elucidate the origin of nematic order in FeSe, we performed field-dependent 77Se-NMR measurements on single crystals of FeSe. We observed orbital ordering from the splitting of the NMR spectra and Knight shift and a suppression of it…

The interplay of orbital and spin degrees of freedom is the fundamental characteristic in numerous condensed matter phenomena, including high temperature superconductivity, quantum spin liquids, and topological semimetals. In iron-based…

The iron-based superconductors are characterized by multiple-orbital physics where all the five Fe 3$d$ orbitals get involved. The multiple-orbital nature gives rise to various novel phenomena like orbital-selective Mott transition,…

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 $a$, $b$…

Nematic fluctuations occur in a wide range of physical systems from liquid crystals to biological molecules to solids such as exotic magnets, cuprates and iron-based high-$T_c$ superconductors. Nematic fluctuations are thought to be closely…

The symmetry of the order parameter in iron-based superconductors, especially the presence or absence of nodes, is still a question of debate. While contradictory experiments can be explained by appropriately tuned theories of nodeless…

The iron-based superconductors allow for a zoo of possible order parameters due to their orbital degrees of freedom. These order parameters are often written in an orbital basis, as this allows to distinguish their different symmetry.…

FeSe undergoes a transition from a tetragonal to a slightly orthorhombic phase at 90\,K, and becomes a superconductor below 8\,K. The orthorhombic phase is sometimes called a nematic phase because quantum oscillation, neutron, and other…

Pairing symmetry in recently discovered Fe-based metallic superconductors AFe$_2$Se$_2$ (A = K, Rb, Cs) with high transition temperature $T_c \sim 40$ K is currently a subject of intensive debates. These systems contain only electron…

The origin of spontaneous electronic nematic ordering provides important information for understanding iron-based superconductors. Here, we analyze a scenario where the $d_{xy}$ orbital strongly contributes to nematic ordering in FeSe. We…

Isoelectronic substitution is an ideal tuning parameter to alter electronic states and correlations in iron-based superconductors. As this substitution takes place outside the conducting Fe planes, the electronic behaviour is less affected…
