  In Cerium-based heavy electron materials, the 4f electron's magnetic moments
bind to the itinerant quasiparticles to form composite heavy quasiparticles at
low temperature. The volume of the Fermi surfacein the Brillouin zone
incorporates the moments to produce a "large FS" due to the Luttinger theorem.
When the 4f electrons are localized free moments, a "small FS" is induced since
it contains only broad bands of conduction spd electrons. We have addressed
theoretically the evolution of the heavy fermion FS as a function of
temperature, using a first principles dynamical mean-field theory (DMFT)
approach combined with density functional theory (DFT+DMFT). We focus on the
archetypical heavy electrons in CeIrIn5, which is believed to be near a quantum
critical point. Upon cooling, both the quantum oscillation frequencies and
cyclotron masses show logarithmic scaling behavior (~ ln(T_0/T)) with different
characteristic temperatures T_0 = 130 and 50 K, respectively. The resistivity
coherence peak observed at T ~ 50 K is the result of the competition between
the binding of incoherent 4f electrons to the spd conduction electrons at Fermi
level and the formation of coherent 4f electrons.
