However, due to large Landau level (LL) separation (~2000 K at B = 30 T), graphene can support the QH effect up to room temperature (RT), concomitant with a non-negligible population of acoustic phonons with a wave-vector commensurate to the inverse electronic magnetic length. Here, we demonstrate that graphene encapsulated in hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) realizes a novel transport regime, where dissipation in the QH phase is gov- erned predominantly by electron-phonon scattering. Investigating thermally- activated transport at filling factor 2 up to RT in an ensemble of back-gated devices, we show that the high B-field behaviour correlates with their zero B- field transport mobility. By this means, we extend the well-accepted notion of phonon-limited resistivity in ultra-clean graphene to a hitherto unexplored high-field realm. Van der Waals heterostructures of graphene and hBN have recently granted experimental access to novel phenomena in condensed matter1. The use of hBN as atomically-flat encapsulating dielectric, in particular, permits a drastic reduction of extrinsic disorder in gra- phene devices2, leading to the observation of zero-field transport regimes dominated by either electron-electron3, electron-hole4 or electron-phonon (e-ph) interaction5, which manifest over different carrier density and temperature ranges. Toward RT (T ~ 300 K), the scattering of electrons with acoustic phonons was theoretically identified as the main intrinsic contribution to the electrical resistivity in graphene6–8, implying a carrier mobility exceeding 105 cm2V−1s−1 at low carrier concentration (n < 1012 cm−2). While such figures could already be inferred from early data on disordered SiO2-supported graphene (~104 cm2V−1s−1 mobility)9,10, at present, the reach of the zero- field acoustic-phonon-limit is firmly established as a generic property of high-quality graphene devices5, also when encapsulated in hBN crystals from different sources11 or engineered to high doping levels (n > 1013 cm−2)12.
