Magnetoresistance in Single Layer Graphene: Weak Localization and Universal Conductance Fluctuation Studies

preprint2010arXivOpen access

Abstract

We report measurements of magnetoresistance in single-layer graphene as a function of gate voltage (carrier density) at 250 mK. By examining signatures of weak localization (WL) and universal conductance fluctuations (UCF), we find a consistent picture of phase coherence loss due to electron-electron interactions. The gate-dependence of the elastic scattering terms suggests that the effect of trigonal warping, i.e., the non-linearity of the dispersion curves, may be strong at high carrier densities, while intra-valley scattering may dominate close to the Dirac point. In addition, a decrease in UCF amplitude with decreasing carrier density can be explained by a corresponding loss of phase coherence.
