  • Abstract
    We report on quantization tests of the quantum Hall effect in monolayer and bilayer graphene based devices which are fabricated from natural graphite by micromechanical exfoliation. Measurements of the Hall resistance RH with relative uncertainties in the range of 10-7 performed using a cryogenic current comparator based resistance bridge have been combined with high-precision longitudinal resistance Rxx measurements to demonstrate that the quantization of RH in such graphene based devices agrees with the theoretical prediction with a relative accuracy of about 2 parts in 107. For a BL sample, the characterizations which have been carried out reveal the existence of a v= -4 Hall resistance plateau flat within 2 parts in 106 over a finite range of electron density. At the center of the plateau, the Hall resistance agrees with RK/4 within 1.5 part in 107. Besides, a sample fabricated from a ML was also characterized: an agreement between the Hall resistance and RK/2 on the v =2 plateau within 3 parts in 107 has been demonstrated.
