The electronic properties in SmFe4P12 have been investigated by means of the de Haas-van Alphen effect, transverse magnetoresistance, Hall effect, and band structure calculation. We have found a markedly large anisotropy in the cyclotron effective mass of the 47th band Fermi surface despite its nearly spherical shape. Moreover, this mass enhancement in SmFe4P12 is robust against magnetic field. The transverse magnetoresistance increases nearly quadratically with magnetic field for all field directions; this is unexpected for an ordinary uncompensated metal. The Hall coefficient is found to be 4-fold enhanced at low temperature compared with that at room temperature. These anomalies in transport properties are ascribed to the stronger enhancement of the cyclotron effective mass of the 48th band Fermi Surface.
