46. In a very recent paper reporting SdH oscillations in a 6-QL film [L. He, Nano Lett. 12, 1486 (2012)], the Fermi level was pinned in the gap and hence the detected physics was different. NALEFD 1530-6984 10.1021/nl204234j
47. Similarly, an insulating behavior has been observed in an exfoliated 3.5-nm-thick crystal, but it was realized by tuning the Fermi level into the gap by gating [S. Cho, N.P. Butch, J. Paglione, and M.S. Fuhrer, Nano Lett. 11, 1925 (2011)]. NALEFD 1530-6984 10.1021/nl200017f
