Abstract
The quantum Hall (QH) effect in two-dimensional electrons and holes in high quality graphene samples is studied in strong magnetic fields up to 45 T. QH plateaus at filling factors are discovered at magnetic fields , indicating the lifting of the fourfold degeneracy of the previously observed QH states at , where is the Landau-level index. In particular, the presence of the QH plateaus indicates that the Landau level at the charge neutral Dirac point splits into four sublevels, lifting sublattice and spin degeneracy. The QH effect at is investigated in a tilted magnetic field and can be attributed to lifting of the spin degeneracy of the Landau level.
