Abstract

We present a study of the Fermi surface of KFe2_2As2_2 single crystals. Quantum oscillations were observed in magnetostriction measured down to 50 mK and in magnetic fields HH up to 14 T. For HcH \parallel c, the calculated effective masses are in agreement with recent de Haas-van Alphen and ARPES experiments, showing enhanced values with respect to the ones obtained from previous band calculations. For HaH \parallel a, we observed a small orbit at a cyclotron frequency of 64 T, characterized by an effective mass of 0.8me\sim 0.8 m_e, supporting the presence of a three-dimensional pocket at the Z-point.
