Recent developments in the van der Waals assembly of heterostructures of two-dimensional materials enable the fabrication of graphene on substrate with very high quality. Outstanding charge carrier mobility and mean free path have been reported for micrometer sized samples of graphene encapsulated in hexagonal boron nitride (hBN). These unique electronic properties offer opportunities for the observation of rich mesoscopic transport phenomena in sub-micron sized graphene-hBN devices. Here, we present low-temperature magneto-transport measurements on a high mobility graphene ring encapsulated in hexagonal boron nitride. We observe the co-existence of weak localization, Aharonov-Bohm (AB) oscillations and universal conductance fluctuations. We investigate the periodicity of the AB oscillations as a function of charge carrier density and find clear evidence of the AB effect even at very low carrier densities. Finally, we report on the investigation of the AB oscillations in the cross over regime of emerging quantum Hall effect at reasonable magnetic fields.
