A change in electrical resistance as a result of elastic deformation
By comparing temperature and doping dependence of the lattice distortion with the elastoresistance and nematic susceptibility obtained from transport and ultrasonic measurements, we conclude that the in-plane resistivity anisotropy found in electron underdoped iron pnictides arises from a strong coupling between the uniaxial pressure induced lattice distortion and electronic nematic state.
