Electronic structure properties in the nematic phases of FeSe

Abstract

We investigate the electronic structures of FeSe in the presence of different possible orders. We find that only ferro-orbital order (FO) and collinear antiferro-magnetism (C-AFM) can simultaneously induce splittings at $Γ$ and M. Bicollinear antiferro-magnetism (B-AFM) and spin-orbit coupling (SOC) have very similar band structure on $Γ$-M near the Fermi level. The temperature insensitive splitting at $Γ$ and the temperature dependent splitting at M observed in recent experiments can be explained by the d-wave bond nematic (dBN) order together with SOC. The recent observed Dirac cones and their temperature ($T$) dependence in FeSe thin films can also be well explained by the dBN order with band renormalization. Their thickness- and cobalt-doping- dependent behaviors are the consequences of electron doping and reduction of Se height. All these suggest that the nematic order in FeSe system is the dBN order.
