Electronic structure and de Haas-van Alphen frequencies in KFe2As2   within LDA+DMFT
  Recent density functional theory (DFT) calculations for KFe2As2 have shown to be insufficient to satisfactorily describe angle-resolved photoemission (ARPES) measurements as well as observed de Haas van Alphen (dHvA) frequencies. In the present work, we extend DFT calculations based on the full-potential linear augmented plane-wave method by dynamical mean field theory (DFT+DMFT) to include correlation effects beyond the local density approximation. Our results indicate that KFe2As2 is a moderately correlated metal with a mass renormalization factor of the Fe 3d orbitals between 1.6 and 2.7. Also, the obtained shape and size of the Fermi surface are in good agreement with ARPES measurements and we observe some topological changes with respect to DFT calculations like the opening of an inner hole cylinder at the Z point. As a result, our calculated dHvA frequencies differ greatly from existing DFT results and qualitatively agree with experimental data. On this basis, we argue that correlation effects are important to understand the -presently under debate- nature of superconducting state in KFe2As2.
