Nematic fluctuations are known to provide an additional superconducting pairing channel which is considered as a possible explanation for the large critical temperatures in iron-based superconductors. We study its influence on the impurity scattering using a minimal microscopic model of nematic fluctuations in an effective two-band system of conduction electrons. Applying a projective renormalization method to integrate out the nematic interaction we find that the impurity scattering potential can be strongly renormalized at small scattering momentum through virtual particle-hole excitations in the dxz/dyz orbital channel. For the particular material LiFeAs we explicitly calculate the Fourier-transformed local density of states and find excellent agreement with recent scanning tunneling experiments* where resonantly enhanced Friedel oscillations have been attributed to the first spectroscopic evidence of nematic fluctuations in an iron-based superconductor.
