Large Magnetoresistance in Few Layer Graphene Stacks with Current Perpendicular to Plane Geometry

Abstract

A large magnetoresistance (MR) effect of few-layers graphene between two non-magnetic metal electrodes with current perpendicular to graphene plane is studied. A non-saturation and anisotropic MR with the value over 60% at 14 T is observed in a two-layer graphene stack at room temperature. The resistance of the device is only tens of ohms, having the advantage of low power consumption for magnetic device applications.
