Magnetotransport of Massless Dirac Fermions in Multilayer Organic Conductors

Abstract

Magnetotransport has been considered in multilayer massless Dirac fermion systems, in which two-dimensional (2D) layers with a pair of Dirac-cone dispersion stack with weak interlayer coupling. The Fermi level is assumed to be fixed at the Dirac point resulting in the zero-gap conductor. At the high-field quantum limit, where only the n = 0 Landau level at the Dirac point is partially occupied, all elements of conductivity tensor have been evaluated by the lowest order contribution of interlayer coupling. We have deduced saturation of in-plane resistance, local maxima of in-plane Hall resistance, negative interlayer magnetoresistance, and cotθ-type unusual angle-dependence of interlayer Hall resistance. These results propose good explanations for mysterious transport features observed in organic zero-gap conductors, α-(BEDT-TTF)2I3 and its related compounds.
