Electric Field Modulation of Galvanomagnetic Properties of Mesoscopic Graphite

Abstract

Electric field effect devices based on mesoscopic graphite are fabricated for galvanomagnetic measurements. Strong modulation of magneto-resistance and Hall resistance as a function of gate voltage is observed as sample thickness approaches the screening length. Electric field dependent Landau level formation is detected from Shubnikov de Haas oscillations in magneto-resistance. The effective mass of electron and hole carriers has been measured from the temperature dependant behavior of these oscillations.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figures included, submitted to Phys. Rev. Let
