Description:

(abstract)

We show systematic variation in the band structure of high mobility graphene with one to seven layers by measuring quantum oscillation of magnetoresistance. The Landau fan diagram showed distinct structures that reflected differences in the band structure, as if they were finger prints of multilayer graphene. In particular, an even-odd layer number effect was clearly observed, in that the number of bands increased by one for every two layers, and a Dirac cone was observed only for odd number of layers. The electronic structure is significantly influenced by the potential energy arising from carrier screening associated with gate electric field.
