Flicker noise and magnetic resolution of graphene hall sensors at low frequency

Hall elements fabricated on chemical vapor deposited graphene exhibited high current- and voltage-related sensitivities due to its low intrinsic carrier density and high mobility about 5000 cm2/V s. Electric noise of the Hall elements was measured at room temperature and found to be largely Flicker noise at low frequency which can be well described by Hooge's empirical relation with a low noise parameter of about 1.8 × 10−4. The combination of high sensitivity and low noise in graphene Hall elements leads to a high room temperature magnetic resolution of about 5 × 10−3 G/Hz0.5 at 3 kHz.
