In transition metal compounds, due to the interplay of charge, spin, lattice and orbital degrees freedom, many intertwined orders exist with close energies. One commonly observed states is so-called nematic electron state, which breaks in-plane rotational symmetry. This state appears in cuprates, iron-based superconductor, etc. Nematicity may coexist, affect, cooperate or compete other orders.
