Stress-induced nematicity inEuFe2As2studied by Raman spectroscopy

Abstract: We use polarized Raman scattering to study the structural phase transition in EuFe2As2, the parent compound of the 122-ferropnictide superconductors. The in-plane lattice anisotropy is characterized by measurements of the side surface with different strains induced by different preparation methods. We show that while a fine surface polishing leaves the samples free of residual internal strain, in which case the onset of the C4 symmetry breaking is observed at the nominal structural phase transition temperature… Show more

“…Because the FQ order parameter is of B 1g symmetry [14], the energy and lifetime of the B 1g phonon mode are expected to exhibit anomalies across T Q due to electron-phonon coupling. Moreover, breaking of the four-fold rotational symmetry should split the two E g phonon modes [25]. However, as shown in the insets of Fig.…”

“…As SPT corresponds to ferroelasticity, external strains easily change the elastic property of crystals as proposed in the iron pnictide compound. 33) One of the samples was deformed owing to the wrong amount of force generated by a pair of tweezers. This mechanical weakness of (Ta 1−x V x ) 2 NiSe 5 is reflected in the small absolute value of transverse elastic constants C 55 and C 66 with the order of 10 9 J/m 3 .…”

“…Previous experiments were performed on twinned crystals, 8,42,43 and the B 2g and B 3g modes were observed next to each other in a single spectrum. An equivalent result can be obtained in de-twinned samples by using x * y , x * x or RR polarizations where the x and y axes are simultaneously projected (along with the z axis).…”
