The FeSe nematic phase has been the focus of recent research on iron based superconductors (IBSs) due to its unique properties. A number of electronic structure studies were performed to find the origin of the phase. However, such attempts came out with conflicting results and caused additional controversies. Here, we report results from angle resolved photoemission and X-ray absorption spectroscopy studies on FeSe with detwinning by a piezo stack. We have fully resolved band dispersions with orbital characters near the Brillouin zone corner which reveals absence of a Fermi pocket at the Y point in the 1Fe Brillouin zone. In addition, the occupation imbalance between dxz and dyz orbitals is found to be opposite to that of iron pnictides, which is consistent with the identified band characters. These results settle down controversial issues in the FeSe nematic phase and shed light on the origin of nematic phases in IBSs.

The electronic structure of the enigmatic iron-based superconductor FeSe has puzzled researchers since spectroscopic probes failed to observe the expected electron pocket at the $Y$ point in the 1-Fe Brillouin zone. It has been speculated that this p
ocket, essential for an understanding of the superconducting state, is either absent or incoherent. Here, we perform a theoretical study of the preferred nematic order originating from nearest-neighbor Coulomb interactions in an electronic model relevant for FeSe. We find that at low temperatures the dominating nematic components are of inter-orbital $d_{xz}-d_{xy}$ and $d_{yz}-d_{xy}$ character, with spontaneously broken amplitudes for these two components. This inter-orbital nematic order naturally leads to distinct hybridization gaps at the $X$ and $Y$ points of the 1-Fe Brillouin zone, and may thereby produce highly anisotropic Fermi surfaces with only a single electron pocket at one of these momentum-space locations. The associated superconducting gap structure obtained with the generated low-energy electronic band structure from spin-fluctuation mediated pairing agrees well with that measured experimentally. Finally, from a comparison of the computed spin susceptibility to available neutron scattering data, we discuss the necessity of additional self-energy effects, and explore the role of orbital-dependent quasiparticle weights as a minimal means to include them.
Superconductivity emerges in proximity to a nematic phase in most iron-based superconductors. It is therefore important to understand the impact of nematicity on the electronic structure. Orbital assignment and tracking across the nematic phase trans
ition prove to be challenging due to the multiband nature of iron-based superconductors and twinning effects. Here, we report a detailed study of the electronic structure of fully detwinned FeSe across the nematic phase transition using angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy. We clearly observe a nematicity-driven band reconstruction involving dxz, dyz, and dxy orbitals. The nematic energy scale between dxz and dyz bands reaches a maximum of 50 meV at the Brillouin zone corner. We are also able to track the dxz electron pocket across the nematic transition and explain its absence in the nematic state. Our comprehensive data of the electronic structure provide an accurate basis for theoretical models of the superconducting pairing in FeSe.
The origin of spontaneous electronic nematic ordering provides important information for understanding iron-based superconductors. Here, we analyze a scenario where the $d_{xy}$ orbital strongly contributes to nematic ordering in FeSe. We show that t
he addition of $d_{xy}$ nematicity to a pure $d_{xz}/d_{yz}$ order provides a natural explanation for the unusual Fermi surface and correctly reproduces the strongly anisotropic momentum dependence of the superconducting gap. We predict a Lifshitz transition of an electron pocket mediated by temperature and sulphur doping, whose signatures we discuss by analysing available experimental data. We present the variation of momentum dependence of the superconducting gap upon suppression of nematicity. Our quantitatively accurate model yields the transition from tetragonal to nematic FeSe and the FeSe$_{1-x}$S$_{x}$ series, and puts strong constraints on possible nematic mechanisms.
We measure the electronic structure of FeSe from within individual orthorhombic domains. Enabled by an angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy beamline with a highly focused beamspot (nano-ARPES), we identify clear stripe-like orthorhombic domains
in FeSe with a length scale of approximately 1-5~$mu$m. Our photoemission measurements of the Fermi surface and band structure within individual domains reveal a single electron pocket at the Brillouin zone corner. This result provides clear evidence for a one-electron pocket electronic structure of FeSe, observed without the application of uniaxial strain, and calls for further theoretical insight into this unusual Fermi surface topology. Our results also showcase the potential of nano-ARPES for the study of correlated materials with local domain structures.
Iron-based superconductors (FBS) comprise several families of compounds having the same atomic building blocks for superconductivity, but large discrepancies among their physical properties. A longstanding goal in the field has been to decipher the k
ey underlying factors controlling TC and the various doping mechanisms. In FBS materials this is complicated immensely by the different crystal and magnetic structures exhibited by the different families. In this paper, using aberration-corrected scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) coupled with electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS), we observe a universal behavior in the hole concentration and magnetic moment across different families. All the parent materials have the same total number of electrons in the Fe 3d bands; however, the local Fe magnetic moment varies due to different orbital occupancy. Although the common understanding has been that both long-range and local magnetic moments decrease with doping, we find that, near the onset of superconductivity, the local magnetic moment increases and shows a dome-like maximum near optimal doping, where no ordered magnetic moment is present. In addition, we address a longstanding debate concerning how Co substitutions induces superconductivity in the 122 arsenide family, showing that the 3d band filling increases a function of doping. These new microscopic insights into the properties of FBS demonstrate the importance of spin fluctuations for the superconducting state, reveal changes in orbital occupancy among different families of FBS, and confirm charge doping as one of the mechanisms responsible for superconductivity in 122 arsenides.
