Strain effects in Fe-based superconductors: Nematicity, exotic magnetism and superelasticity

In this talk we will analyze the role of strain
in some families of Fe-based superconductors.
Via a combination of first principles-based calculations and many-body approaches
we investigate nematicity, possible exotic magnetism and
superelasticity in 122 and 1144 systems [1,2]
and discuss possible origins of the discrepancy between ARPES measurements and
electronic structure calculations in the nematic phase of FeSe [3] with the help of strain.
