    Abstract:
    The magnetotransport in single layer graphene has been experimentally investigated in magnetic fields up to 18 T as a function of temperature. A pronounced T dependence is observed for T≲50  K, which is either metallic, or insulating, depending on the filling factor ν. The metal-insulator transition (MIT) occurs at |ν{c}|∼0.65 and in the regime of the dissipative transport, where the longitudinal resistance Rxx>1/2R{K}. The critical resistivity (Rxx per square) is ρ{xx}(ν{c})≈1/2R{K} and is correlated with the appearance of zero plateau in Hall conductivity σ{xy}(ν) and peaks in σ{xx}(ν). This leads us to construct a universal low-T (n, B) phase diagram of this quantum phase transition.
