| Research Abstract |
Transport properties of two-dimensional massless Dirac fermions, which is realized in graphene and in certain organic metals, in a magnetic field has been investigated both numerically and analytically. We have found that the n=0 Landau level, which is a hallmark of the graphene quantum Hall effect, is surprisingly robust against disorder respecting the chiral symmetry. This robustness appears as a anomalous sharpness of the n=0 Landau level leading to the unconventional criticality of the quantum Hall transition. We have also generalized the chiral symmetry to encompass the generic tilted Dirac fermions and show that the generalized chiral symmetry indeed protects the n=0 Landau level against disorder. These findings suggest that the unconventional quantum Hall transition can be realized in a wide range of systems such as cold atoms in an optical lattice.
