Abstract

We provide a comprehensive picture of magnetotransport in graphene monolayers in the limit of non-quantizing magnetic fields. We discuss the effects of two carrier transport, weak localization, weak anti-localization, and strong localization for graphene devices of various mobilities, through theory, experiments and numerical simulations. In particular, we observe the weak localization of the localization length, which allows us to make the connection between weak and strong localization. It provides a unified framework for both localizations, which explains the observed experimental features. We compare these results to numerical simulation and find a remarkable agreement between theory, experiment and numerics. Various graphene devices were used in this study, including graphene on different substrates, such as glass and silicon, as well as low and high mobility devices.
