Universal Behavior of Magnetoresistance in Organic Dirac Electron Systems


Abstract in English

In-plane magnetoresistance for organic massless Dirac electron system (OMDES) $alpha$-(BEDT-TTF)$_2$I$_3$ and $theta$-(BEDT-TTF)$_2$I$_3$ in addition to possible candidates of the OMDES $alpha$-(BETS)$_2$I$_3$ and $alpha$-(BEDT-STF)$_2$I$_3$, was investigated under hydrostatic pressure. We have found the universal behavior of the in-plane magnetoresistance under a low magnetic field perpendicular to two-dimensional plane. As for $alpha$-(BEDT-TTF)$_2$I$_3$, the universality was examined with the parameters of temperature, magnetic field and its direction. We suggest that the universal magnetoresistance behavior is found even for the gapped state of $alpha$-(BEDT-TTF)$_2$I$_3$ under intermediate pressure, when the thermal energy exceeds the gap.
