24. Such a linear MR has been noted in graphitic structures, see: D.E. Soule, Phys. Rev. 112 (1958) 698
25. I.L. Spain, Carbon 17 (1979) 209. We propose that the linear MR can be explained by the non-Markovian transport as a result of the interplay between long-range and short-range disorders, and this has been addressed by our experiments through disorder engineering in graphitic multilayers Ref. [15].
