Abstract

In this paper we show the electronic transport and the quantum phase transitions that characterize the quantum Hall regime in graphene placed on SiO(2) substrates at magnetic fields up to 28 T and temperatures down to 4 K. The analysis of the temperature dependence of the Hall and longitudinal resistivity reveals intriguing non-universalities of the critical exponents of the plateau-insulator transition. These exponents depend on the type of disorder that governs the electrical transport and its characterization is important for the design and fabrication of novel graphene nano-devices.
