Quantum Hall resistance (QHR) standards play an essential role for the realization of the units ohm, farad, ampere, and kilogram in the revised International System of Units. The primary realization of the unit ohm is still mainly based on GaAs-based QHR standards with the quantized resistance RH = h/2e2 operating at high magnetic flux densities B > 10 T, limited currents I < 50 µA, and low temperatures T < 1.5 K. These operating conditions significantly hinder a wide application of these standards other than at highly specialized national metrology institutes. In this work, we developed practical primary QHR standards based on n- and p-type epitaxial graphene devices operating at relaxed conditions. The presented study systematically demonstrates that p-type epitaxial graphene can be used for primary resistance standards and is as accurate (10−9 accuracy) as GaAs and n-type graphene counterparts for realizing the unit ohm.1 The n-type graphene QHR standards achieved world-class performance with 10−9 accuracy under relaxed conditions (B = 4.5 T, I = 232.5 µA, and T = 4.2 K).2−3 [1] Appl.
