Three-quarter Dirac points, Landau levels and magnetization in $\alpha$-(BEDT-TTF)$_2$I$_3$
Abstract
The energies as a function of the magnetic field () and the pressure are studied theoretically in the tight-binding model for the two-dimensional organic conductor, -(BEDT-TTF)I, in which massless Dirac fermions are realized. The effects of the uniaxial pressure () are studied by using the pressure-dependent hopping parameters. The system is semi-metallic with the same area of an electron pocket and a hole pocket at ~kbar, where the energies ) at the Dirac points locate below the Fermi energy ) when . We find that at ~kbar the Dirac cones are critically tilted. In that case a new type of band crossing occurs at "three-quarter"-Dirac points, i.e., the dispersion is quadratic in one direction and linear in the other three directions. We obtain new magnetic-field-dependences of the Landau levels ; at ~kbar ("three-quarter"-Dirac points) and at ~kbar (the critical pressure for the semi-metallic state). We also study the magnetization as a function of the inverse magnetic field. We obtain two types of quantum oscillations. One is the usual de Haas van Alphen (dHvA) oscillation, and the other is the unusual dHvA-like oscillation which is seen even in the system without the Fermi surface.
