Neutron-scattering measurements of spin excitations in LaFeAsO and Ba(Fe(0.953)Co(0.047))(2)As(2): evidence for a sharp enhancement of spin fluctuations by nematic order.

Inelastic neutron scattering is employed to investigate the impact of electronic nematic order on the magnetic spectra of LaFeAsO and Ba(Fe(0.953)Co(0.047))(2)As(2).
