Resumo

Raman scattering experiments on LaFeAsO with distinct antiferromagnetic (T-AFM = 140 K) and tetragonal-orthorhombic (T-S = 155 K) transitions show a quasielastic peak (QEP) in B-2g symmetry (2 Fe tetragonal cell) that fades away below similar to T-AFM and is ascribed to electronic nematic fluctuations. A scaling of the reported shear modulus with the T dependence of the QEP height rather than the QEP area indicates that magnetic degrees of freedom drive the structural transition. The large separation between T-S and T-AFM in LaFeAsO compared to BaFe2As2 manifests itself in slower dynamics of nematic fluctuations in the former. (AU)
