We report distinctive magnetotransport properties of a graphene p-n-p junction prepared by controlled diffusion of metallic contacts. In most cases, materials deposited on a graphene surface introduce substantial carrier scattering, which greatly reduces the high mobility of intrinsic graphene. However, we show that an oxide layer only weakly perturbs the carrier transport, which enables fabrication of a high-quality graphene p-n-p junction through a one-step and resist-free method. The measured conductance-gate voltage $(G-V_G)$ curves can be well described by a metal contact model, which confirms the charge density depinning due to the oxide layer. The graphene p-n-p junction samples exhibit pronounced quantum Hall effect, a well-defined transition point of the zeroth Landau level (LL), and scaling behavior. The scaling exponent obtained from the evolution of the zeroth LL width as a function of temperature exhibits a relatively low value of $kappa=0.21pm0.01$. Moreover, we calculate the energy level for the LLs based on the distribution of plateau-plateau transition points, further validating the assignment of the LL index of the QH plateau-plateau transition.

The temperature dependence of the magneto-conductivity in graphene shows that the widths of the longitudinal conductivity peaks, for the N=1 Landau level of electrons and holes, display a power-law behavior following $Delta u propto T^{kappa}$ with
a scaling exponent $kappa = 0.37pm0.05$. Similarly the maximum derivative of the quantum Hall plateau transitions $(dsigma_{xy}/d u)^{max}$ scales as $T^{-kappa}$ with a scaling exponent $kappa = 0.41pm0.04$ for both the first and second electron and hole Landau level. These results confirm the universality of a critical scaling exponent. In the zeroth Landau level, however, the width and derivative are essentially temperature independent, which we explain by a temperature independent intrinsic length that obscures the expected universal scaling behavior of the zeroth Landau level.
Using different experimental techniques we examine the dynamical scaling of the quantum Hall plateau transition in a frequency range f = 0.1-55 GHz. We present a scheme that allows for a simultaneous scaling analysis of these experiments and all othe
r data in literature. We observe a universal scaling function with an exponent kappa = 0.5 +/- 0.1, yielding a dynamical exponent z = 0.9 +/- 0.2.
The quantum Hall plateau transition was studied at temperatures down to 1 mK in a random alloy disordered high mobility two-dimensional electron gas. A perfect power-law scaling with kappa=0.42 was observed from 1.2K down to 12mK. This perfect scalin
g terminates sharply at a saturation temperature of T_s~10mK. The saturation is identified as a finite-size effect when the quantum phase coherence length (L_{phi} ~ T^{-p/2}) reaches the sample size (W) of millimeter scale. From a size dependent study, T_s propto W^{-1} was observed and p=2 was obtained. The exponent of the localization length, determined directly from the measured kappa and p, is u=2.38, and the dynamic critical exponent z = 1.
The quantum Hall effect in a single-layer graphene sample is studied in strong magnetic fields up to 28 T. Our measurements reveal the existence of a metal- insulator transition from filling factor $ u=-2$ to $ u=0$. The value of the universal scalin
g exponent is found to be $kappa=0.57 $ in graphene and therefore in a truly two-dimensional system. This value of $kappa$ is in agreement with the accepted universal value for the plateau-insulator transitions in standard quasi two-dimensional electron and hole gases.
Owing to a linear and gapless band structure and a tunability of the charge carrier type, graphene offers a unique system to investigate transport of Dirac Fermions at p-n junctions (PNJs). In a magnetic field, combination of quantum Hall physics and
the characteristic transport across PNJs leads to a fractionally quantized conductance associated with the mixing of electron-like and hole-like modes and their subsequent partitioning. The mixing and partitioning suggest that a PNJ could be used as an electronic beam-splitter. Here we report the shot noise study of the mode mixing process and demonstrate the crucial role of the PNJ length. For short PNJs, the amplitude of the noise is consistent with an electronic beam-splitter behavior, whereas, for longer PNJs, it is reduced by the energy relaxation. Remarkably, the relaxation length is much larger than typical size of mesoscopic devices, encouraging using graphene for electron quantum optics and quantum information processing.
