Multilayer graphene shows intrinsic resistance peaks in the carrier density dependence

Abstract Since the advent of graphene, a variety of studies have been performed to elucidate its fundamental physics, or to explore its practical applications. Gate-tunable resistance is one of the most important properties of graphene and has been studied in 1–3 layer graphene in a number of effort...
