Reentrant Metallic Behavior of Graphite in the Quantum Limit — •Y. Kopelevich1, J.H.S. Torres1, R.R. da Silva1, F. Mrowka2, H. Kempa2, and P.

Magnetotransport measurements (longitudinal and transverse resistances) performed on several well-characterized highly oriented pyrolytic graphite (HOPG) and single crystalline Kish graphite samples reveal a reentrant metallic behavior in the basal-plane resistance in the quantum limit, when only the lowest Landau levels are occupied. The magnetic-field-induced transition suggests that the quantum Hall effect, Landau-level-quantization-induced superconducting correlations, and the magnetic catalysis may be relevant to understand the metallic-like state(s) in graphite in the quantum limit.
