The influence of plasma etched sample edges on electrical transport and doping is studied. Through electrical transport measurements the overall doping and mobility are analyzed for mono- and bilayer graphene samples. As a result the edge contributes strongly to the overall doping of the samples. Furthermore the edge disorder can be found as the main limiting source of the mobility for narrow samples.

We report an electron transport study of lithographically fabricated graphene nanoribbons of various widths and lengths at different temperatures. At the charge neutrality point, a length-independent transport gap forms whose size is inversely propor
tional to the width. In this gap, electron is localized, and charge transport exhibits a transition between simple thermally activated behavior at higher temperatures and a variable range hopping at lower temperatures. By varying the geometric capacitance through the addition of top gates, we find that charging effects constitute a significant portion of the activation energy.
We investigate the conductivity $sigma$ of graphene nanoribbons with zigzag edges as a function of Fermi energy $E_F$ in the presence of the impurities with different potential range. The dependence of $sigma(E_F)$ displays four different types of be
havior, classified to different regimes of length scales decided by the impurity potential range and its density. Particularly, low density of long range impurities results in an extremely low conductance compared to the ballistic value, a linear dependence of $sigma(E_F)$ and a wide dip near the Dirac point, due to the special properties of long range potential and edge states. These behaviors agree well with the results from a recent experiment by Miao emph{et al.} (to appear in Science).
We investigate the size scaling of the conductance of surface disordered graphene sheets of width W and length L. Metallic leads are attached to the sample ends across its width. At E ~ 0, the conductance scales with the system size as follows: i) Fo
r constant W/L, it remains constant as size is increased, at a value which depends almost lineally on that ratio; this scaling allows the definition of a conductivity value that results similar to the experimental one. ii) For fixed width, the conductance decreases exponentially with length L, both for ordered and disordered samples. Disorder reduces the exponential decay, leading to a higher conductance. iii) For constant length, conductance increases linearly with width W, a result that is exclusively due to the tails of the states of the metallic wide contact. iv) The average conductance does not show an appreciable dependence on magnetic field. Away from E = 0, the conductance shows the behavior expected in two-dimensional systems with surface disorder, i.e., ballistic transport.
There is an increasing amount of literature concerning electronic properties of graphene close to the neutrality point. Many experiments continue using the two-probe geometry or invasive contacts or do not control samples macroscopic homogeneity. We
believe that it is helpful to point out some problems related to such measurements. By using experimental examples, we illustrate that the charge inhomogeneity induced by spurious chemical doping or metal contacts can lead to large systematic errors in assessing graphenes transport properties and, in particular, its minimal conductivity. The problems are most severe in the case of two-probe measurements where the contact resistance is found to strongly vary as a function of gate voltage.
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..
