well, I'm not sure how this is supported in matplotlib, but in LaTex,you 
would do:

Normalized Temperature $(kT/\epsilon)$

or:

$\text{Normalized Temperature} (kT/\epsilon)$

the "$" means put it in math mode, if you don't want "Normalized 
Temperature" in math mode, don't put it inside the $$. The second puts 
it all in math mode, but the text{} means set this in text mode.
