▎ 摘  要

We have performed magnetotransport measurements on a multi-layer graphene flake. At the crossing magnetic field B (c), an approximately temperature-independent point in the measured longitudinal resistivity rho (xx) , which is ascribed to the direct insulator-quantum Hall (I-QH) transition, is observed. By analyzing the amplitudes of the magnetoresistivity oscillations, we are able to measure the quantum mobility mu (q) of our device. It is found that at the direct I-QH transition, mu (q) B (c) a parts per thousand 0.37 which is considerably smaller than 1. In contrast, at B (c), rho (xx) is close to the Hall resistivity rho (xy) , i.e., the classical mobility mu B (c) is a parts per thousand 1. Therefore, our results suggest that different mobilities need to be introduced for the direct I-QH transition observed in multi-layered graphene. Combined with existing experimental results obtained in various material systems, our data obtained on graphene suggest that the direct I-QH transition is a universal effect in 2D.
