We investigate a generalized two-dimensional Weyl Hamiltonian, which may describe the low-energy properties of mechanically deformed graphene and of the organic compound alpha-(BEDT-TTF)_2I_3 under pressure. The associated dispersion has…
We consider the optical and transport properties in a model two-dimensional Hamiltonian which describes the merging of two Dirac points. At low energy, in the presence of an energy gap parameter $\Delta$, there are two distinct Dirac points…
The identification of novel multifunctional Dirac materials has been an ongoing effort. In this connection quasi 2-dimensional (BEDT-TTF)-based charge transfer salts are widely discussed. Here, we report about the electronic structure of…
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…
Theoretical and experimental studies have supported that the electronic structure of $\alpha$-(BEDT-TTF)$_2$I$_3$ under pressure is described by two-dimensional Dirac fermions. When the interlayer tunneling is coherent, the electronic…
We report a $^{13}$C-NMR study on the ambient-pressure metallic phase of the layered organic conductor $\theta$-(BEDT-TTF)$_{2}$I$_{3}$ [BEDT-TTF: bisethylenedithio-tetrathiafulvalene], which is expected to connect the physics of correlated…
We investigated the precise crystal structures and electronic states in a quasi-two-dimensional molecular conductor ${\alpha}$-(BETS)$_2$I$_3$ at ambient pressure. The electronic resistivity of this molecular solid shows metal-to-insulator…
We investigate symmetry breaking in the Dirac fermion phase of the organic compound $\alpha$-(BEDT-TTF)$_2$I$_3$ under pressure, where BEDT-TTF denotes bis(ethylenedithio)tetrathiafulvalene. The exchange interaction resulting from…
The two-dimensional organic conductor $\alpha$-(BEDT-TTF)$_2$I$_3$ undergoes a metal-insulator transition at $T_{\rm CO}=135$ K due to electronic charge ordering. We have conducted time-resolved investigations of its electronic properties…
Dirac points in two-dimensional massless Dirac fermions are topologically protected. Although single Dirac point cannot disappear solely, a pair of two Dirac points annihilates after merging at a time-reversal invariant momentum (TRIM).…
Infrared optical investigations of $\alpha$-(BEDT-TTF)$_2$I$_3$ have been performed in the spectral range from 80 to 8000~cm$^{-1}$ down to temperatures as low as 10~K by applying hydrostatic pressure. In the metallic state, $T > 135$~K, we…
We study under which general conditions a pair of Dirac points in the electronic spectrum of a two-dimensional crystal may merge into a single one. The merging signals a topological transition between a semi-metallic phase and a band…
A continuous deformation of a Hamiltonian possessing at low energy two Dirac points of opposite chiralities can lead to a gap opening by merging of the two Dirac points. In two dimensions, the critical Hamiltonian possesses a semi-Dirac…
Motivated by the results of recent transport and optical conductivity studies, we propose a semi-infinite two-dimensional lattice model for interacting massive Dirac electrons in the pressurized organic conductor…
In a recent experiment on the interlayer magnetoresistance in the quasi-two-dimensional organic salt, $\alpha$-(BEDT-TTF)$_2$I$_3$, it has been observed that at low temperatures, interlayer tunneling attains phase coherence, leading to the…
Within the framework of the density functional theory, we calculate the electronic structure of $\alpha$-(BEDT-TTF)$_2$I$_3$ at 8K and room temperature at ambient pressure and with uniaxial strain along the $a$- and $b$-axes. We confirm the…
To determine how electron correlations open a gap in two-dimensional massless Dirac electrons in the organic compounds $\alpha$-(BEDT-TTF)$_2$I$_3$ [$\alpha$-(ET)$_2$I$_3$] and $\alpha$-(BEDT-TSeF)$_2$I$_3$ [$\alpha$-(BETS)$_2$I$_3$], we…
Owing to their chiral cubic structure, exotic multifold topological excitations have been predicted and recently observed in transition metal silicides like $\beta$-RhSi. Herein, we report that the topological character of RhSi is also…
In a Dirac semimetal, the conduction and valence bands contact only at discrete (Dirac) points in the Brillouin zone (BZ) and disperse linearly in all directions around these critical points. Including spin, the low energy effective theory…
The spectrum of tight binding electrons on a square lattice with half a magnetic flux quantum per unit cell exhibits two Dirac points at the band center. We show that, in the presence of an additional uniaxial staggered potential, this pair…
