Strain effects on electronic structure of the iron selenide superconductor
The influence of various strains on crystal and electronic structures of
superconducting FeSe has been studied ab initio. We consider changes in the
Fermi surface nesting with a vector Q=(0.5,0.5)*(2\pi /a) as crucial for rising
superconductivity (SC) mediated by spin-fluctuations (SF). Our results indicate
that the c-axis strained FeSe exhibits the most imperfect nesting, which
enhances SF and, hence, also SC. In turn, the ab-plane compressive strain
slightly weakens this} nesting while the tensile strain destroys it completely.
These findings are consistent with reported earlier experimental dependencies
of superconducting transition temperatures on strain in FeSe thin films
