The underlying mechanism of iron-based superconductivity, the role of electron correlations, and the extent to which the behavior resembles those of the cuprates has been debated since their discovery. Here, using angle resolved photoemission spectroscopy, the authors report reconstruction of the Fermi surface for FeTe1−x Se x driven by orbital-dependent correlation effects in the absence of symmetry breaking and find evidence for an orbital-selective Mott transition.
