Abstract

We have measured magnetoresistance of suspended graphene in the Corbino geometry at magnetic fields up to B=0.15B=0.15\,T, i.e., in a regime uninfluenced by Shubnikov-de Haas oscillations. The low-temperature relative magnetotoresistance [R(B)R(0)]/R(0)[R(B)-R(0)]/R(0) amounts to 4000B2%4000 B^2\% at the Dirac point (BB in Tesla), with a quite weak temperature dependence below 3030\,K. A decrease in the relative magnetoresistance by a factor of two is found when charge carrier density is increased to n3×1010|n| \simeq 3 \times 10^{-10} cm2^{-2}. The gate dependence of the magnetoresistance allows us to characterize the role of scattering on long-range (Coulomb impurities, ripples) and short-range potential, as well as to separate the bulk resistance from the contact one. Furthermore, we find a shift in the position of the charge neutrality point with increasing magnetic field, which suggests that magnetic field changes the screening of Coulomb impurities around the Dirac point. The current noise of our device amounts to 102310^{-23} A2^2/Hz\sqrt{\textrm{Hz}} at 11\,kHz at 44\,K, which corresponds to a magnetic field sensitivity of 6060 nT/Hz\sqrt{\textrm{Hz}} in a background field of 0.150.15\,T.
