We have discovered a two-dimensional zero-gap material with a layered structure in the organic conductor alpha-(BEDT-TTF)2I3 under high hydrostatic pressure. In contrast to graphene, the electron-hole symmetry is not good except at the vicinity of the Dirac points. Thus, the temperature dependence of the chemical potential µ plays an important role in the transport in this system. The experimental formula of µ is revealed. We succeeded in detecting the interband effects of a magnetic field on the Hall conductivity when µ passes the Dirac point.
