摘要
Excess conductance fluctuations with peculiar temperature dependence from 1.4 to 250 K were observed in curved nanographite sheets with electrode gap lengths of 300 and 450 mm, whereas the conductance fluctuation is greatly suppressed above 4.2 K when the electrode gap lengths increase to 800 and 1000 nm. The former is discussed in the context of the presence of a small energy bandgap in the nanographite sheets, while the latter is attributed to the crossover from the coherent transport to diffusive transport regime.
