Observation of an emergent coherent state in the iron-based superconductor
Abstract
The ab-plane optical properties of KFe2As2 single crystals have been measured over a wide temperature and frequency range. Below T*≃155 K, where this material undergoes an incoherentcoherent crossover, a new coherent response emerges in the optical conductivity. A spectral weight analysis suggests that this new feature originates from high-energy bound states. Below about ≃75 K the scattering rate for this new feature is quadratic in temperature, indicating a Fermiliquid response. Theoretical calculations suggest this crossover is dominated by the dxy orbital. Our results indicate Kondo-type screening is the likely mechanism for the incoherent-coherent crossover in hole-overdoped KFe2As2.
