Abstract

The goal of these lecture notes is to provide a semi-phenomenological explanation of the phase diagram of iron based superconductors, and to summarize theoretical predictions for the signatures of the nematic degrees of freedom in various experimentally measurable quantities. In most cases we will focus on the spin-driven nematic approach. We will use this approach to Construct a phase diagram for the iron-based superconductors;Develop a φ⁴ theory of the nematic phase and make the prediction about the nature of the nematic transition;Make predictions for the behaviour of the elastic modulus in the vicinity of a nematic/structural transition;Calculate the Raman response function, in the normal state and in the superconducting state;Calculate the resistivity anisotropy;Discuss the signatures of the Ising-nematic state in the magnetic spectrum. Finally, we will briefly address the impact of nematic fluctuations on superconductivity.
