Unconventional superconductivity typically is closely related to the suppression of ordered states which possibly compete or coexist with superconductivity in the underdoped region. The overdoped systems are usually assumed to stay in a rather conventional Fermi liquid state. However, for iron-based superconductors, experiments indicate that the heavily hole-doped end-member KFe2As2, together with its sister compounds, are more complicated including the possibility of emerging electronic nematic order.
We present elasto-resistivity measurements of KFe2As2, revealing a divergent nematic susceptibility. The evolution of nematic susceptibility is also tracked with isovalent doping and electron doping on the K site. Our results point to unexpected nematic critical point(s) in those overdoped superconductors.
