Doping-dependent nematic susceptibility and strain-tunable Tc in FeTe1-xSex

ORAL

Abstract

In comparison to the end member FeSe, the role of nematicity in the FeTe1-xSex family is less explored. Using the elastoresistivity technique, we measured the nematic susceptibility of FeTe1-xSex over a wide range of doping, and revealed the presence of strong B2g nematic fluctuations despite the absence of static nematic order. We also studied the effects of anisotropic strain on the superconducting transition temperature, providing insight into the interplay between nematic fluctuations and the superconductivity.
