We report on the magnetotransport in Hall bar structures of nanocrystalline graphene. The graphene sheets were prepared by electron-beam-induced cross-linking and subsequent pyrolysis of aromatic self-assembled monolayers [1]. The I-V characteristics show considerably non-linear behaviour at low temperatures. One low resistive sample (≈ 200 kOhm/sq at T = 4 K) shows positive magnetoresistance values up to + 20 % in the perpendicular magnetic field for temperatures below 6 K, while above this temperature the magnetoresistance becomes negative. Measurements of the transversal voltage in the linear regime exhibit anomalous behaviour which cannot be explained by the conventional Hall effect. If the magnetic field is aligned parallel to the graphene sheet the magnetorestance exhibits large positive values up to + 300 %. Measurements on a highly resistive sample (≈ 30 MOhm/sq at T = 4 K) reveal a non-monotonic behaviour of the magnetoresistance in a perpendicular magnetic field.
