Transport Phenomena in Multilayered Massless Dirac Fermion System α-(BEDT-TTF)2I3
نویسندگان
چکیده
A zero-gap state with a Dirac cone type energy dispersion was discovered in an organic conductor α-(BEDT-TTF)2I3 under high hydrostatic pressures. This is the first two-dimensional (2D) zero-gap state discovered in bulk crystals with a layered structure. In contrast to the case of graphene, the Dirac cone in this system is highly anisotropic. The present system, therefore, provides a new type of massless Dirac fermion system with anisotropic Fermi velocity. This system exhibits remarkable transport phenomena characteristic to electrons on the Dirac cone type energy structure.

Effect of the zero-mode landau level on interlayer magnetoresistance in multilayer massless Dirac fermion systems.
We report on the experimental results of interlayer magnetoresistance in the multilayer massless Dirac fermion system alpha-(BEDT-TTF)2I3 under hydrostatic pressure and its interpretation. We succeeded in detecting the zero-mode Landau level (n=0 Landau level) that is expected to appear at the contact points of Dirac cones in the magnetic field normal to the two-dimensional plane. The character...

The dynamical property of electrons with the tilted Dirac cone was examined using the tilted Weyl equation. The polarization function exhibits cusps and nonmonotonic structures by varying both the frequency and the momentum. A pair of tilted Dirac cones exhibits a new plasmon for the intermediate magnitude of momentum owing to the combined effects of two tilted cones. Dirac electrons with the z...

Abstract. A zero-gap state (ZGS) has been found in a bulk system of two-dimensional organic conductor, α-(BEDT-TTF)2I3 salt which consists of four sites of donor molecules in a unit cell. In the present paper, the characteristic of the ZGS is analyzed in detail and the electronic properties are examined in the vicinity of the Dirac point where the conduction and valence bands degenerate to form...
متن کاملPossible Verification of Tilted Anisotropic Dirac Cone in α-(BEDT-TTF)2 I3 Using Interlayer Magnetoresistance
It is proposed that the presence of a tilted and anisotropic Dirac cone can be verified using the interlayer magnetoresistance in the layered Dirac fermion system, which is realized in quasi-two-dimensional organic compound α-(BEDT-TTF)2 I3. Theoretical formula for the interlayer magnetoresistance is derived using the analytic Landau level wave functions and assuming local tunneling of electron...
