(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 theory, 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).

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.
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.
The conducting state of the quasi-two-dimensional organic conductor, $alpha$-(BEDT-TTF)$_2$I$_3$, at ambient pressure is investigated with $^{13}$C NMR measurements, which separate the local electronic states at three nonequivalent molecular sites (A
, B, and C). The spin susceptibility and electron correlation effect are revealed in a locally resolved manner. While there is no remarkable site-dependence around room temperature, the local spin susceptibility gradually disproportionates among the nonequivalent sites with decreasing temperature. The disproportionation-ratio yields 5:4:6 for A:B:C molecules at 140 K. Distinct site- and temperature-dependences are also observed in the Korringa ratio, $mathcal{K}_i propto (1/T_{1}T)_iK^{-2}_i$ ($i$ = A, B, and C), which is a measure of the strength and the type of electron correlations. The values of $mathcal{K}_i$ point to sizable antiferromagnetic spin correlation. We argue the present results in terms of the theoretical prediction of the peculiar site-specific reciprocal-space ($bm{k}$-space) anisotropy on the tilted Dirac cone, and discuss the $bm{k}$-dependent profiles of the spin susceptibility and electron correlation on the cone.
The recently proposed multiferroic state of the charge-transfer salt {kappa}-(BEDT-TTF)$_2$Cu[N(CN)$_2$]Cl [P. Lunkenheimer et al., Nature Mater., vol. 11, pp. 755-758, Sept. 2012] has been studied by dc-conductivity, magnetic susceptibility and meas
urements of the dielectric constant on various, differently prepared single crystals. In the majority of crystals we confirm the existence of an order-disorder-type ferroelectric state which coincides with antiferromagnetic order. This phenomenology rules out scenarios which consider an inhomogeneous, short-range-ordered ferroelectric state. Measurements of the dielectric constant and the magnetic susceptibility on the same crystals reveal that both transitions lie very close to each other or even collapse, indicating that both types of order are intimately coupled to each other. We address issues of the frequency dependence of the dielectric constant {epsilon} and the dielectric loss {epsilon} and discuss sample-to-sample variations.
$alpha$-(BEDT-TTF)$_2$I$_3$ is a prominent example of charge ordering among organic conductors. In this work we explore the details of transport within the charge-ordered as well as semimetallic phase at ambient pressure. In the high-temperature semi
metallic phase, the mobilities and concentrations of both electrons and holes conspire in such a way to create an almost temperature-independent conductivity as well as a low Hall effect. We explain these phenomena as a consequence of a predominantly inter-pocket scattering which equalizes mobilities of the two types of charge carriers. At low temperatures, within the insulating charge-ordered phase two channels of conduction can be discerned: a temperature-dependent activation which follows the mean-field behavior, and a nearest-neighbor hopping contribution. Together with negative magnetoresistance, the latter relies on the presence of disorder. The charge-ordered phase also features a prominent dielectric peak which bears a similarity to relaxor ferroelectrics. Its dispersion is determined by free-electron screening and pushed by disorder well below the transition temperature. The source of this disorder can be found in the anion layers which randomly perturb BEDT-TTF molecules through hydrogen bonds.
