We report an observation of conductance fuctuations (CFs) in the bipolar regime of quantum hall (QH) plateaus in graphene (p-n-p/n-p-n) devices. The CFs in the bipolar regime are shown to decrease with increasing bias and temperature. At…

Current Luttinger liquid edge state theories for filling $\nu=2/3$ predict a non-universal Hall conductance, in disagreement with experiment. Upon inclusion of random edge tunnelling we find a phase transition into a new…
