We report multiphonon Raman scattering in graphene samples. Higher order combination modes involving 3 phonons and 4 phonons are observed in single-layer (SLG), bi-layer (BLG), and few layer (FLG) graphene samples prepared by mechanical exfoliation. The intensity of the higher order phonon modes (relative to the G peak) is highest in SLG and decreases with increasing layers. In addition, all higher order modes are observed to upshift in frequency almost linearly with increasing graphene layers, betraying the underlying interlayer van der Waals interactions.

We study electronic contribution to the Raman scattering signals of two-, three- and four-layer graphene with layers at one of the interfaces twisted by a small angle with respect to each other. We find that the Raman spectra of these systems feature two peaks produced by van Hove singularities in moir{e} minibands of twistronic graphene, one related to direct hybridization of Dirac states, and the other resulting from band folding caused by moir{e} superlattice. The positions of both peaks strongly depend on the twist angle, so that their detection can be used for non-invasive characterization of the twist, even in hBN-encapsulated structures.
Temperature-dependent Raman spectra of TbMnO$_3$ from 5 K to 300 K in the spectral range of 200 to 1525 cm$^{-1}$ show five first-order Raman allowed modes and two high frequency modes. The intensity ratio of the high frequency Raman band to the corresponding first order Raman mode is nearly constant and high ($sim$ 0.6) at all temperatures, suggesting a orbiton-phonon mixed nature of the high frequency mode. One of the first order phonon modes shows anomalous softening below T$_N$ ($sim$ 46 K), suggesting a strong spin-phonon coupling.
The equilibrium optical phonons of graphene are well characterized in terms of anharmonicity and electron-phonon interactions, however their non-equilibrium properties in the presence of hot charge carriers are still not fully explored. Here we study the Raman spectrum of graphene under ultrafast laser excitation with 3ps pulses, which trade off between impulsive stimulation and spectral resolution. We localize energy into hot carriers, generating non-equilibrium temperatures in the ~1700-3100K range, far exceeding that of the phonon bath, while simultaneously detecting the Raman response. The linewidth of both G and 2D peaks show an increase as function of the electronic temperature. We explain this as a result of the Dirac cones broadening and electron-phonon scattering in the highly excited transient regime, important for the emerging field of graphene-based photonics and optoelectronics.
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.

Raman scattering (RS) spectra and current-voltage characteristics at room temperature were measured in six series of small samples fabricated by means of electron-beam lithography on the surface of a large size (5x5 mm) industrial monolayer graphene film. Samples were irradiated by different doses of C${}^+$ ion beam up to $10^{15}$ cm${}^{-2}$. It was observed that at the utmost degree of disorder, the Raman spectra lines disappear which is accompanied by the exponential increase of resistance and change in the current-voltage characteristics.These effects are explained by suggestion that highly disordered graphene film ceases to be a continuous and splits into separate fragments. The relationship between structure (intensity of RS lines) and sample resistance is defined. It is shown that the maximal resistance of the continuous film is of order of reciprocal value of the minimal graphene conductivity $pi h/4e^2approx 20$ kOhm.
