Plateau insulator transition in graphene

The quantum Hall effect in a single-layer graphene sample is studied in strong magnetic fields up to 28 T. Our measurements reveal the existence of a metal- insulator transition from filling factor $ν=-2$ to $ν=0$. The value of the universal scaling exponent is found to be $κ=0.57$ in graphene and therefore in a truly two-dimensional system. This value of $κ$ is in agreement with the accepted universal value for the plateau-insulator transitions in standard quasi two-dimensional electron and hole gases.
