摘要
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)(2)I-3 [BEDT-TTF=bis(ethylenedithio)tetrathiafulvalene] 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 of 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)(2)I-3.
