abstract

We use polarization-resolved electronic Raman spectroscopy to study charge dynamics in non-magnetic FeSe$_{1-x}$S$_x$ superconductor. We observe two features of the $XY$ quadrupole symmetry: a low-energy quasi-elastic peak (QEP) and an electronic continuum. The QEP exhibits critical enhancement upon cooling towards the structural transition at $T_S(x)$. Below $T_S(x)$, the QEP diminishes gradually, and a gap with temperature evolution reminiscent of a mean-field order parameter opens in the continuum. The intensity of the QEP develops with increasing sulfur doping $x$ and maximizes at $x\approx$ 0.15, while the gap magnitude decreases with the suppression of $T_S(x)$. We interpret the development of the gap in the quadrupole scattering channel as the formation of a stripe quadrupole order: a wave of quadrupole moment without charge or spin modulation.

Raman response in the nematic phase of FeSe

cond-mat.str-el · 2019-08-29 · conditional · novelty 7.0

In the nematic state of FeSe, B1g Raman intensity is suppressed at low frequencies because the orbital content of the Fermi pockets becomes nearly mono-orbital, and charge-conservation vertex corrections cancel the resulting s-wave component of the Raman vertex.
