In addition, graphene-based devices are potentially much simpler to fabricate and optimize than are GaAs-based devices. The development of a simple-to-produce quantum Hall standard capable of room-temperature operation could revolutionize resistance metrology as the development of the Josephson voltage standard revolutionized voltage metrology.
