▎ 摘  要

The so-called zigzag edge of graphenes has localized and strongly spin-polarized electrons. However, magnetoresistance (MR) behavior associated with the edge electrons has not been reported in graphenes. Here, we measure MR of graphene antidot-lattices, honeycomb-like arrays of hexagonal antidots with a large ensemble of hydrogen-terminated and low-defect antidot edges, prepared by a nonlithographic method using nanoporous alumina templates. We find anomalous MR oscillations arising from localized electron spins existing at the antidot edges. These are promising for realization of spintronic devices.
