Abstract

We report pronounced magnetoconductance oscillations observed on suspended bilayer and trilayer graphene devices with mobilities up to 270,000 cm²/V s. For bilayer devices, we observe conductance minima at all integer filling factors ν between 0 and -8, as well as a small plateau at ν=1/3. For trilayer devices, we observe features at ν=-1, -2, -3, and -4, and at ν∼0.5 that persist to 4.5 K at B=8 T. All of these features persist for all accessible values of Vg and B, and could suggest the onset of symmetry breaking of the first few Landau levels and fractional quantum Hall states.
