Title: Electronic signatures of the nematic electronic phases of superconducting FeSe1-xSx
Abstract: Isoelectronic substitution is an ideal tuning parameter to alter electronic states and correlations in iron-based superconductors as this substitution is less affected by the impurity scattering [1-7]. In this talk, I will present the experimental progress made in understanding the nematic electronic states and the nematic criticality of superconducting FeSe1-xSx. A direct signature of the nematic electronic state is in-plane anisotropic distortion of the Fermi surface triggered by orbital ordering effects and electronic interactions that result in multi-band shifts, as detected by angle-dependent photoemission spectroscopy [4-5]. Upon sulphur substitution, the orbital effects, electronic correlations and the Fermi velocities decrease in the tetragonal phase. Quantum oscillations in ultra-high magnetic fields show a complex spectra and the effective masses display non-divergent behaviour at the nematic end point, as opposed to critical spin-fluctuations in other iron pnictides [2,3,7]. The lack of enhanced superconductivity and divergent electronic correlations at the nematic end point in FeSe1-xSx indicate a strong coupling with the lattice.
