The dispersion of phonons and the electronic structure of graphene systems can be obtained experimentally from the double-resonance (DR) Raman features by varying the excitation laser energy. In a previous resonance Raman investigation of graphene, the electronic structure was analyzed in the framework of the Slonczewski-Weiss-McClure (SWM) model, considering the outer DR process. In this work we analyze the data considering the inner DR process, and obtain SWM parameters that are in better agreement with those obtained from other experimental techniques. This result possibly shows that there is still a fundamental open question concerning the double resonance process in graphene systems.

The line shape of the double-resonant $2D$ Raman mode in bilayer graphene is often considered to be characteristic for a certain laser excitation energy. Here, in a joint experimental and theoretical study, we analyze the dependence of the double-resonant Raman scattering processes in bilayer graphene on the electronic broadening parameter $gamma$. We demonstrate that the ratio between symmetric and anti-symmetric scattering processes sensitively depends on the lifetime of the electronic states, explaining the experimentally observed variation of the complex $2D$-mode line shape.
By computing the double-resonant Raman scattering cross-section completely from first principles and including electron-electron interaction at the $GW$ level, we unravel the dominant contributions for the double-resonant 2D-mode in bilayer graphene. We show that, in contrast to previous works, the so-called inner processes are dominant and that the 2D-mode lineshape is described by three dominant resonances around the $K$ point. We show that the splitting of the TO phonon branch in $Gamma-K$ direction, as large as 12 cm$^{-1}$ in $GW$ approximation, is of great importance for a thorough description of the 2D-mode lineshape. Finally, we present a method to extract the TO phonon splitting and the splitting of the electronic bands from experimental data.
We present the first measurements of cyclotron resonance of electrons and holes in bilayer graphene. In magnetic fields up to B = 18 T we observe four distinct intraband transitions in both the conduction and valence bands. The transition energies are roughly linear in B between the lowest Landau levels, whereas they follow sqrt{B} for the higher transitions. This highly unusual behavior represents a change from a parabolic to a linear energy dispersion. The density of states derived from our data generally agrees with the existing lowest order tight binding calculation for bilayer graphene. However in comparing data to theory, a single set of fitting parameters fails to describe the experimental results.
The band structure of bilayer graphene is tunable by introducing a relative twist angle between the two layers, unlocking exotic phases, such as superconductor and Mott insulator, and providing a fertile ground for new physics. At intermediate twist angles around 10{deg}, highly degenerate electronic transitions hybridize to form excitonic states, a quite unusual phenomenon in a metallic system. We probe the bright exciton mode using resonant Raman scattering measurements to track the evolution of the intensity of the graphene Raman G peak, corresponding to the E2g phonon. By cryogenically cooling the sample, we are able to resolve both the incoming and outgoing resonance in the G peak intensity evolution as a function of excitation energy, a prominent manifestation of the bright exciton serving as the intermediate state in the Raman process. For a sample with twist angle 8.6{deg}, we report a weakly temperature dependent resonance broadening ${gamma}$ ${approx}$ 0.07 eV. In the limit of small inhomogeneous broadening, the observed ${gamma}$ places a lower bound for the bright exciton scattering lifetime at 10 fs in the presence of charges and excitons excited by the light pulse for Raman measurement, limited by the rapid exciton-exciton and exciton-charge scattering in graphene.
We have studied the dielectric screening of electric field which is induced by a gate voltage in twisted double bilayer graphene by using a sample with a mismatch angle of about 5 degrees. In low temperature magnetotransport measurements, quantum oscillations of magnetoresistance originating from two bands with different carrier density were observed. The behavior of the carrier densities with respect to the total carrier density were distinct from that of the AB-stacked tetralayer graphene. The carrier density ratio was theoretically analyzed in terms of the model that the induced charge decays exponentially with distance with a screening length {lambda}. The estimated {lambda} was slightly larger than that of AB-stacked graphene, which would possibly reflect the difference in the inter-plane distribution of probability of the wave function.
