Four-point probe measurements are the classic method for investigating conductivity independent of contact resistances. By implementing this technique at the micron scale, in ultra-high vacuum, clean, local measurement of the conductivity is possible. By varying the effective separation of the contact probes, discrimination between conduction through the bulk and the surface can be achieved.
Data from both monolayer graphene on silicon carbide and hydrogen-intercalated quasi-freestanding graphene will be presented. The transport is shown to be two-dimensional in character, and the measured conductivity is combined with photoemission data to extract the mobility.
