Electrons can be reflected at an interface between two metals because of a dielectric barrier or different properties of the Fermi surface. Andreev reflection allows to directly measure normal reflection when one of the metals is a…
The electric properties of mono- and multi-layer graphene films were systematically studied with the layer number determined by their optical contrast. The current modulation increased monotonically with a decrease in the layer number due…
