We have performed magnetotransport measurements on a multi-layer graphene flake. At the crossing magnetic field Bc, an approximately temperature-independent point in the measured longitudinal resistivity, which is ascribed to the direct insulator-qua
ntum Hall (I-QH) transition, is observed. By analyzing the amplitudes of the magnetoresistivity oscillations, we are able to measure the quantum mobility of our device. It is found that at the direct I-QH transition, the product of the quantum mobility and is about 0.37 which is considerably smaller than 1. In contrast, at Bc, the longitudinal resistivity is close to the Hall resistivity, i.e., the product of the classical mobility and the crossing field is about 1. Therefore our results suggest that different mobilities need to be introduced for the direct I-QH transition observed in multi-layered graphene. Combined with existing experimental results obtained in various material systems, our data obtained on graphene suggest that the direct I-QH transition is a universal effect in 2D.
We report measurements of disordered graphene probed by both a high electric field and a high magnetic field. By apply a high source-drain voltage Vsd, we are able to study the current-voltage relation I-Vsd of our device. With increasing Vsd, a cros
sover from the linear I-Vsd regime to the non-linear one, and eventually to activationless-hopping transport occurs. In the activationless-hopping regime, the importance of Coulomb interactions between charged carriers is demonstrated. Moreover, we show that delocalization of carriers which are strongly localized at low T and at small Vsd occurs with the presence of high electric field and perpendicular magnetic field..
