Abstract

Cyclotron resonance (CR) measurements for the Fe-based superconductor KFe2_2As2_2 are performed. One signal for CR is observed, and is attributed to the two-dimensional α\alpha Fermi surface at the Γ\Gamma point. We found a large discrepancy in the effective masses of CR [(3.4±\pm0.05)mem_e (mem_e is the free electron mass)] and de-Haas van Alphen (dHvA) results, a direct evidence of mass enhancement due to electronic correlation. A comparison of the CR and dHvA results shows that both intra- and interband electronic correlations contribute to the mass enhancement in KFe2_2As2_2.
