We describe a cryogenic two-terminal high-resistance bridge and its application in precision resistance scaling from the quantized Hall resistance (QHR) at RH = RK/2 = 12 906.4035 _ to decade resistance standards with values between 1 M_ and 1 G_. The

We have performed magnetotransport measurements on multi-layer epitaxial graphene. By increasing the driving current I through our graphene devices while keeping the bath temperature fixed, we are able to study Dirac fermion heating and current scaling in

A well-controlled technique for high-temperature epitaxial growth on 6H-SiC(0001) substrates is shown to allow development of monolayer graphene that exhibits promise for precise metrological applications. Face-to-face (FTF) and face-to-graphite (FTG)

This paper describes concepts and measurement techniques necessary for characterization of graphene in the development of graphene-based quantized Hall effect (QHE) devices and resistance standards. We briefly contrast the properties of graphene produced

Graphene Epitaxial Growth on SiC(0001) for Resistance Standards

Epitaxial growth of graphene layers on 6H-SiC(0001) substrates have been studied in order to improve graphene's performance for metrological applications. A face-to-face (FTF) sublimation method at 2000 °C and in Ar background atmosphere is used to inhibit

SIM.EM-S5 Voltage, Current and Resistance Comparison

This paper reports the results of the second Interamerican Metrology System (SIM) comparison on calibration of digital multimeters, performed for strengthening the interaction among National Metrology Institutes (NMIs) and for establishing the degree of

Graphene: Plane and Simple Electrical Metrology?

The development of large-area graphene has direct application to electrical standards including the quantized Hall resistance because of unique characteristics not found in conventional devices. These include symmetrical conduction by electrons and holes

We report observations of well developed half integer quantum Hall effect on mono layer graphene films of 7 mm × 7 mm in size. The graphene films are grown by chemical vapor deposition on copper, then transferred to SiO2/Si substrates, with typical carrier

Many material and electronic contributions must be favorable to produce devices with strong quantum Hall effect (QHE) plateaus that are suitable for precise resistance metrology. Even so, metrologically interesting QHE plateaus have been observed in

SIM Comparison of DC Resistance Standards at 1 {O}, 1 M{O}, and 1 G{O}
