In magnetic field, absorption lines exhibiting a blue-shift proportional to sqrtB are observed. This is a fingerprint for massless Dirac holes at the H point in bulk graphite. The Fermi velocity is found to be c*=1.02x10^6 m/s and the pseudogap at the H point is estimated to be below 10 meV. Although the holes behave to a first approximation as a strictly 2D gas of Dirac fermions, the full 3D band structure has to be taken into account to explain all the observed spectral features.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v3", "updated": "2008-02-08T11:03:06.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "71.70.Di", "76.40.+b", "78.30.-j", "81.05.Uw" ], "keywords": [ "dirac fermions", "magneto-transmission studies", "full 3d band structure", "far infrared magneto-transmission measurements", "thin graphite sample" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Physical Review Letters", "year": 2008, "month": "Apr", "volume": 100, "number": 13, "pages": 136403 }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 4, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2008PhRvL.100m6403O" } } }
