Abstract
We have performed an angle-resolved photoemission study of the iron pnictide superconductor KFe2As2 with Tc∼4K. Most of the observed Fermi surfaces show almost two-dimensional shapes, while one of the quasi-particle bands near the Fermi level has a strong dispersion along the kz direction, consistent with the result of a band-structure calculation. However, hole Fermi surfaces α and ζ are smaller than those predicted by the calculation while other Fermi surfaces are larger. These observations are consistent with the result of a de Haasvan Alphen study and a theoretical prediction on inter-band scattering, possibly indicating many body effects on the electronic structure.
