Abstract

A mathematical approach is adopted for optimizing the number of total device elements required for obtaining high effective quantized resistances in graphene-based quantum Hall array devices. This work explores an analytical extension to the use of star-mesh transformations such that fractal-like, or recursive, device designs can yield high enough resistances (like 1 E{\Omega}, arguably the highest resistance with meaningful applicability) while still being feasible to build with modern fabrication techniques. Epitaxial graphene elements are tested, whose quantized Hall resistance at the nu=2 plateau (R_H = 12906.4 {\Omega}) becomes the building block for larger effective, quantized resistances. It is demonstrated that, mathematically, one would not need more than 200 elements to achieve the highest pertinent resistances
