Evidence for an electron nematic phase transition in underdoped iron pnictide superconductors
Published 17 Feb 2010 in cond-mat.supr-con | (1002.3364v2)
Abstract: Electrical resistivity measurements of detwinned single crystals of the representative iron arsenide Ba(Fe$_{1-x}$Co$_x$)$_2$As$_2$ reveal a dramatic in-plane anisotropy associated with the tetragonal-to-orthorhombic structural transition that precedes the onset of long-range antiferromagnetic order. These results indicate that the structural transition in this family of compounds is fundamentally electronic in origin.
