Abstract

Temperature-dependent reflectivity measurements in the frequency range 85–7000cm−1 were performed on BaFe2As2 single crystals under pressure up to ∼5 GPa. The corresponding pressure- and temperature-dependent optical conductivity was analyzed with the Drude-Lorentz model to extract the coherent and incoherent contributions. The gradual suppression of the spin-density-wave (SDW) state with increasing pressure and the appearance of the superconducting phase coexisting with the SDW phase at 3.6 GPa were observed. At 3.6 GPa, the reflectivity reaches unity below ∼95 cm−1 indicating the opening of the superconducting gap and shows a full gap tendency at 6 K.
