Abstract

Interaction-enhanced carrier masses are central to the phenomenology of iron-based superconductors. Quantum oscillation measurements in the new unconventional superconductor YFe2Ge2 resolve all four Fermi surface pockets expected from band structure calculations, which predict an electron pocket in the Brillouin zone corner and three hole pockets enveloping the centers of the top and bottom of the Brillouin zone. Carrier masses reach up to 20 times the bare electron mass and are among the highest ever observed in any iron-based material, accounting for the enhanced heat capacity Sommerfeld coefficient ≃100 mJ/mol K2. Mass renormalization is uniform across reciprocal space, suggesting predominantly local correlations, as in the Hund’s metal scenario.
