Abstract

The quasiparticle relaxation dynamics of the iron-based superconductor CsCa2Fe4As4F2 (Tc∼29 K) were investigated using ultrafast optical spectroscopy. A pseudogap (ΔPG=3.3±0.3 meV) was observed to open below T*≈60 K, prior to the emergence of a superconducting gap [Δ(0)=6.6±0.4 meV]. At high excitation fluence, a coherent A1g phonon mode at 5.49 THz was identified, exhibiting deviations from anharmonic behavior below Tc. The electron-phonon coupling constant for this mode was estimated to be λA1g≈0.23. These results provide insights into the interplay between the electron-phonon interactions, pseudogap, and the superconducting pairing mechanism in CsCa2Fe4As4F2.
