Abstract

We have measured the magnetic field and temperature dependence of the resistivity of several micrometers long and heterogeneously thick graphite sample. The magnetoresistance results for fields applied nearly parallel to the graphene planes show both granular superconducting behavior and the existence of magnetic order in the sample.
