New insights into transport properties of nanostructures with a linear dispersion along one direction and a quadratic dispersion along another are obtained by analysing their spectral stability properties under small perturbations. Physically relevant sufficient and necessary conditions to guarantee the existence of discrete eigenvalues are derived under rather general assumptions on external fields. One of the most interesting features of the analysis is the evident spectral instability of the systems in the weakly coupled regime. The rigorous theoretical results are illustrated by numerical experiments and predictions for physical experiments are made.
