Anomalous Fermi surface in FeSe seen by Shubnikov–de Haas oscillation measurements

Abstract

We have observed Shubnikov--de Haas oscillations in FeSe. The Fermi surface deviates significantly from predictions of band-structure calculations and most likely consists of one electron and one hole thin cylinder. The carrier density is in the order of 0.01 $\mathrm{carriers}/\mathrm{Fe}$, an order of magnitude smaller than predicted. Effective Fermi energies as small as 3.6 meV are estimated. These findings call for elaborate theoretical investigations incorporating both electronic correlations and orbital ordering.
