A distinctive feature of single layer graphene is the linearly dispersive energy bands, which in case of multilayer graphene become parabolic. Other than the quantum Hall effect, this distinction has been hard to capture in electron transport. Carrier mobility of graphene has been scrutinized, but many parallel scattering mechanisms often obscure its sensitivity to band structure. The flicker noise in graphene depends explicitly on its ability to screen local potential fluctuations. Here we show that the flicker noise is a sensitive probe to the band structure of graphene that vary differently with the carrier density for the linear and parabolic bands. Using devices of different genre, we find this difference to be robust against disorder in the presence or absence of substrate. Our results reveal the microscopic mechanism of noise in Graphene Field Effect Transistors (GraFET), and outline a simple portable method to separate the single from multi layered devices.
