Abstract

We report Hall measurement of the normal state in K- and Co-doped BaFe2_2As2_2, as well NaFe1x_{1-x}Cox_xAs. We found that a power-law temperature dependence of Hall angle, cotθH\theta_{\rm H}\propto TβT^\beta, prevails in normal state with temperature range well above the structural, spin-density-wave and superconducting transitions for the all samples with various doping levels. The power β\beta is nearly 4 for the parent compounds and the heavily underdoped samples, while around 3 for the superconducting samples. The β\beta suddenly changes from 4 to 3 at a doping level that is close to the emergence of superconductivity. It suggests that the β\beta of 3\sim 3 is clearly tied to the superconductivity. Our data suggest that, similar to cuprates, there exists a connection between the physics in the normal state and superconductivity of iron-pnictides. These findings shed light on the mechanism of high-temperature superconductivity.
