Abstract
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 existence of anisotropic Dirac cone dispersion near the chemical potential. We also extract the orthogonal tight-binding parameters to analyze physical properties. An investigation of the electronic structure near the chemical potential clarifies that effects of uniaxial strain along the a-axis is different from that along the b-axis. The carrier densities show $T^2$ dependence at low temperatures, which may explain the experimental findings not only qualitatively but also quantitatively.
