In this study we present magnetotransport an magnetooptical data obtained in the magnetic field range 0T < B < 7T at detectors patterned in Corbino geometry on epitaxial graphene wafer using a Ge detector. We observed the cyclotron resonance of charge carriers in these wafers by measurement of the transmission of THz wafes through the unpatterned squares (about 4 × 4mm2) of the wafers as a function of the magnetic field B applied perpendicular to the wafer. Further, we performed measurements of the photocunductivity of graphene-based devices shaped in Corbino geometry, induced by terahertz (THz) radiation generated by a p-Ge laser (emitting in the energy range 7.5meV ≤ Eph ≤ 11meV). Our photoconductivity measurement imply that graphene devices are suitable for the detection of terahertz radiation.
