Abstract
In samples of rhombohedral graphite ranging from 3 to 4.5 nm thickness, corresponding to 9–12 layers of graphene, at low temperatures, a rise in resistance was found. This chapter is dedicated to the interaction induced gap at the charge neutrality point of rhombohedral graphite films, which is responsible for the rise in zero doping low temperature resistance.
