Abstract
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.Entities:
