We show that the interactions between the delocalized chiral edge states (generated by the magnetic field) and Anderson-localized surface states (created by the presence of zig-zag edges) lead to edge reconstruction. As a consequence, the point contact tunneling on a graphene edge has a non-universal tunneling exponent, and the Hall conductivity is not perfectly quantized in units of $e^2/h$. We argue that the magneto-transport properties of graphene depend strongly on the strength of electron-electron interactions, the amount of disorder, and the details of the edges.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2006-05-15T15:41:07.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "surface states", "fractional quantum hall effect", "electron-electron interactions", "delocalized chiral edge states", "non-universal tunneling exponent" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Phys.
