We have discovered two-dimensional zero-gap material with a layered structure in the organic conductor $alpha$-(BEDT-TTF)$_2$I$_3$ under high hydrostatic pressure. In contrast to graphene, the electron-hole symmetry is not good except at the vicinity of the Dirac points. Thus, temperature dependence of the chemical potential, $mu$, plays an important role in the transport in this system. The experimental formula of $mu$ is revealed. We succeeded in detecting the inter-band effects of a magnetic field on the Hall conductivity when $mu$ passes the Dirac point.

We investigate the effect of strong electronic correlation on the massless Dirac fermion system, $alpha$-(BEDT-TTF)$_2$I$_3$, under pressure. In this organic salt, one can control the electronic correlation by changing pressure and access the quantum critical point between the massless Dirac fermion phase and the charge ordering phase. We theoretically study the electronic structure of this system by applying the slave-rotor theory and find that the Fermi velocity decreases without creating a mass gap upon approaching the quantum critical point from the massless Dirac fermion phase. We show that the pressure-dependence of the Fermi velocity is in good quantitative agreement with the results of the experiment where the Fermi velocity is determined by the analysis of the Shubnikov-de Haas oscillations in the doped samples. Our result implies that the massless Dirac fermion system exhibits a quantum phase transition without creating a mass gap even in the presence of strong electronic correlations.

We report on the experimental results of interlayer magnetoresistance in multilayer massless Dirac fermion system $alpha$-(BEDT-TTF)$_2$I$_3$ under hydrostatic pressure and its interpretation. We succeeded in detecting the zero-mode Landau level (n=0 Landau level) that is epected to appear at the contact points of Dirac cones in the magnetic field normal to the two-dimensional plane. The characteristic feature of zero-mode Landau carriers including the Zeeman effect is clearly seen in the interlayer magnetoresistance.
The emergence of photo-induced topological phases and their phase transitions are theoretically predicted in organic salt $alpha$-(BEDT-TTF)$_2$I$_3$, which possesses inclined Dirac cones in its band structure. By analyzing a photo-driven tight-bindi ng model describing conduction electrons in the BEDT-TTF layer using the Floquet theorem, we demonstrate that irradiation with circularly polarized light opens a gap at the Dirac points, and the system eventually becomes a Chern insulator characterized by a quantized topological invariant. A rich phase diagram is obtained in plane of amplitude and frequency of light, which contains Chern insulator, semimetal, and normal insulator phases. We find that the photo-induced Hall conductivity provides a sensitive means to detect the predicted phase evolutions experimentally. This work contributes towards developing the optical manipulation of electronic states in matter through broadening the range of target materials that manifest photo-induced topological phase transitions.

(BEDT-TFF)$_2$I$_3$ charge transfer salts are reported to show superconductivity and pressure induced quasi two-dimensional Dirac cones at the Fermi level. By performing state of the art ab initio calculations in the framework of density functional t heory, we investigate the structural and electronic properties of the three structural phases $alpha$, $beta$ and $kappa$. edit{We furthermore report about the irreducible representations of the corresponding electronic band structures, symmetry of their crystal structure, and discuss the origin of band crossings. Additionally, we discuss the chemically induced strain in $kappa$-(BEDT-TTF)$_2$I$_3$ achieved by replacing the Iodine layer with other Halogens: Fluorine, Bromine and Chlorine. In the case of $kappa$-(BEDT-TTF)$_2$F$_3$, we identify topologically protected crossings within the band structure. These crossings are forced to occur due to the non-symmorphic nature of the crystal.} The calculated electronic structures presented here are added to the organic materials database (OMDB).
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 generically the form of tilted anisotropic Dirac cones. The tilt arises due to next-nearest-neighbor hopping when the Dirac points, where the valence band touches the conduction band, do not coincide with crystallographic high-symmetry points within the first Brillouin zone. Within a semiclassical treatment, we describe the formation of Landau levels in a strong magnetic field, the relativistic form of which is reminiscent to that of graphene, with a renormalized Fermi velocity due to the tilt of the Dirac cones. These relativistic Landau levels, experimentally accessible via spectroscopy or even a quantum Hall effect measurement, may be used as a direct experimental verification of Dirac cones in alpha-(BEDT-TTF)_2I_3.
