To understand the nematicity in Fe-based superconductors, nontrivial k dependence of the orbital polarization [ΔE_{xz}(k), ΔE_{yz}(k)] in the nematic phase, such as the sign reversal of the orbital splitting between Γ and X, Y points in FeSe, provides significant information. To solve this problem, we study the spontaneous symmetry breaking with respect to the orbital polarization and spin susceptibility self-consistently. In FeSe, due to the sign-reversing orbital order, the hole and electron pockets are elongated along the k_{y} and k_{x} axes, respectively, consistently with experiments. In addition, an electron pocket splits into two Dirac cone Fermi pockets while increasing the orbital polarization. The orbital order in Fe-based superconductors originates from the strong positive feedback between the nematic orbital order and spin susceptibility.
为了理解铁基超导体中的向列性,向列相中轨道极化[ΔE_{xz}(k),ΔE_{yz}(k)]的非平凡k依赖性,例如FeSe中Γ点与X、Y点之间轨道分裂的符号反转,提供了重要信息。为了解决这个问题,我们自洽地研究了关于轨道极化和自旋磁化率的自发对称性破缺。在FeSe中,由于轨道序的符号反转,空穴和电子口袋分别沿k_{y}和k_{x}轴拉长,这与实验结果一致。此外,随着轨道极化增加,一个电子口袋分裂成两个狄拉克锥费米口袋。铁基超导体中的轨道序源于向列轨道序与自旋磁化率之间的强正反馈。
