It looks like these four examples give all the same thing. You may pick 
the one that suits best in your case.

par(mfrow=c(2,2))
plot(1,1,xlab=expression(paste(K,"'",(t),sep="")))
plot(1,1,xlab=expression(paste(K,"'",(t))))
plot(1,1,xlab=expression(paste("K'(t)")))
plot(1,1,xlab=expression("K'(t)"))
