Abstract

We investigate the normal state of the "11'' iron-based superconductor FeSe0.42Te0.58 by angle-resolved photoemission. Our data reveal a highly renormalized quasiparticle dispersion characteristic of a strongly correlated metal. We find sheet dependent effective carrier masses between approximate to 3 and 16me corresponding to a mass enhancement over band structure values of m*/mband approximate to 6-20. This is nearly an order of magnitude higher than the renormalization reported previously for iron-arsenide superconductors of the "1111'' and "122'' families but fully consistent with the bulk specific heat.
