Visualizing orbital degrees of freedom and their orders is a new challenge in scanned microscopy. Recently we have demonstrated techniques for visualization of orbital-selective quasiparticles[1] and orbital-selective superconductivity[2] for a system that exhibits orthorhombic symmetry as low temperatures. However, some types of orbital order do not reduce the overall crystal symmetry, but might be detectable once sub-unit cell resolution is available. Examples would be a dxz-dyz orbital order with (π, π) momentum dependence in a tetragonal crystal. Here we report on theoretical modeling and experimental searches for the scattering interference signature of such orbital order.
