Abstract

We report measurements of quasiparticle relaxation dynamics in the high-temperature superconductor (Ba,K)Fe2As2 in optimally doped, underdoped, and undoped regimes. In the underdoped sample, spin-density wave (SDW) order forms at ∼85K, followed by superconductivity at ∼28K. We find the emergence of a normal-state order that suppresses SDW at a temperature T*∼60K and argue that this normal-state order is a precursor to superconductivity.
