Magneto-transport through graphene nano-ribbons
arXiv:1003.2994 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.81.193408
Abstract
We investigate magneto-transport through graphene nano-ribbons as a function of gate and bias voltage, and temperature. We find that a magnetic field systematically leads to an increase of the conductance on a scale of a few tesla. This phenomenon is accompanied by a decrease in the energy scales associated to charging effects, and to hopping processes probed by temperature-dependent measurements. All the observations can be interpreted consistently in terms of strong-localization effects caused by the large disorder present, and exclude that the insulating state observed in nano-ribbons can be explained solely in terms of a true gap between valence and conduction band.
