Abstract
We show that the resistivities perpendicular and parallel to the basal planes of different graphite samples show similar magnetic-field-driven metal-insulator transitions at a field ∼0.1 T applied parallel to the c axis. Our results demonstrate the universality of the recently found scaling in of graphite and indicate that the metalliclike temperature dependence of is directly correlated to that of The similar magnetoresistance found for both resistivities, the violation of Kohler’s rule, and the field-induced transition indicate that the semiclassical transport theory is inadequate to understand the transport properties of graphite.
