Abstract

Suspended graphene nanoribbons formed during current annealing of suspended graphene flakes have been investigated experimentally. Transport measurements show the opening of a transport gap around charge neutrality due to the formation of "Coulomb islands", coexisting with quantum Hall conductance plateaus appearing at moderate values of the magnetic field B. Upon increasing B, the transport gap is rapidly suppressed, and is taken over by a much larger energy gap due to electronic correlations. Our observations show that suspended nanoribbons allow the investigation of phenomena that could not so far be accessed in ribbons on SiO(2) substrates.
