چکیده

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 electrons. It is shown that the resistivity as a function of the azimuthal angle of the magnetic field takes the maximum in the direction of the tilt if anisotropy of the Fermi velocity of the Dirac cone is small. The procedure is described to determine the parameters of the tilt and anisotropy.

Theory of Dirac Electrons in Organic Conductors

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...

In this paper, we report transport measurements of interlayer magnetoresistance with field parallel and perpendicular to the current direction in an all organic superconductor b9-~BEDT-TTF!2SF5CH2CF2SO3. For HiI , the isothermal magnetoresistance R(H) at low temperatures (T<Tc) displays a peak effect as a function of field. For H'I , R(H) increases monotonically with increasing field. The resul...

Transport Phenomena in Multilayered Massless Dirac Fermion System α-(BEDT-TTF)2I3

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 o...

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...

In this paper, we report transport measurements of interlayer magnetoresistance with field parallel and perpendicular to the current direction in the organic superconductor k-(BEDT-TTF)2Cu@N(CN)2#Br. For HiJ , the isothermal magnetoresistance R(H) displays a peak effect as a function of field. While the magnetoresistance at small field can be fitted to stacked Josephson junction model, the nega...
