Abstract

We report measurements of current noise in single-layer and multilayer graphene devices. In four single-layer devices, including a pn junction, the Fano factor remains constant to within ±10% upon varying carrier type and density, and averages between 0.35 and 0.38. The Fano factor in a multilayer device is found to decrease from a maximal value of 0.33 at the charge-neutrality point to 0.25 at high carrier density. These results are compared to theories for shot noise in ballistic and disordered graphene.
