We obtain the conditions for the three Dirac points to merge and for the tricritical points. We find that only very small third-nearest-neighbor hoppings are enough for the existence of the merging of three-Dirac-points and the tricritical points, if the system is sufficiently anisotropic. The density of states is obtained to be D(ε) ∝ |ε|1/3 when three Dirac points merge, and D(ε) ∝ |ε|1/4 at the tricritical points. It is possible to realize these topological phase transitions in the ultracold atoms on the optical lattice, strained monolayer graphene, or strained bilayer graphene., http://prb.aps.org/abstract/PRB/v86/i16/e165430}, pages = {165430-1--165430-18}, title = {Merging Dirac points and topological phase transitions in the tight-binding model on the generalized honeycomb lattice}, volume = {86}, year = {2012} }
