We make use of micro-magneto Raman scattering spectroscopy to probe magneto-phonon resonances (MPR) in suspended mono- to penta-layer graphene. MPR correspond to avoided crossings between zone-center optical phonons (G-mode) and optically-active inter Landau level (LL) transitions and provide a tool to perform LL spectroscopy at a fixed energy ($approx 197~rm{meV}$) set by the G-mode phonon. Using a single-particle effective bilayer model, we readily extract the velocity parameter associated with each MPR. A single velocity parameter slightly above the bulk graphite value suffices to fit all MPR for $Ngeq2$ layer systems. In contrast, in monolayer graphene, we find that the velocity parameter increases significantly from $(1.23pm 0.01) times 10^6~mathrm{m.s^{-1}}$ up to $(1.45pm0.02) times 10^6~mathrm{m.s^{-1}}$ as the first to third optically-active inter LL transition couple to the G-mode phonon. This result is understood as a signature of enhanced many-body effects in unscreened graphene.

Many-body effects resulting from strong electron-electron and electron-phonon interactions play a significant role in graphene physics. We report on their manifestation in low B field magneto-phonon resonances in high quality exfoliated single-layer and bilayer graphene encapsulated in hexagonal boron nitride. These resonances allow us to extract characteristic effective Fermi velocities, as high as $1.20 times 10^6$ m/s, for the observed dressed Landau level transitions, as well as the broadening of the resonances, which increases with Landau level index.
The low-energy (intraband) range of the third harmonic generation of graphene in the terahertz regime is governed by the damping terms induced by the interactions. A controlled many-body description of the scattering processes is thus a compelling and desirable requirement. In this paper, using a Kadanoff-Baym approach, we systematically investigate the impact of many-body interaction on the third-harmonic generation (THG) of graphene, taking elastic impurity scattering as a benchmark example. We predict the onset in the mixed inter-intraband regime of novel incoherent features driven by the interaction at four- and five-photon transition frequencies in the third-harmonic optical conductivity with a spectral weight proportional to the scattering rate.We show also that, in spite of the complex many-body physics, the purely intraband term governing the limit $omega to 0$ resembles the constraints of the phenomenological model. We ascribe this agreement to the fulfilling of the conservation laws enforced by the conserving approach. The overlap with novel incoherent features and the impact of many-body driven multi-photon vertex couplings limit however severely the validity of phenomenological description.
We report the first temperature dependent phonon transport measurements in suspended Cu-CVD single layer graphene (SLG) from 15K to 380K using microfabricated suspended devices. The thermal conductance per unit cross section $sigma$/A increases with temperature and exhibits a peak near T~280K ($pm$10K) due to the Umklapp process. At low temperatures (T<140K), the temperature dependent thermal conductivity scales as ~T^{1.5}, suggesting that the main contribution to thermal conductance arises from flexural acoustic (ZA) phonons in suspended SLG. The $sigma$/A reaches a high value of 1.7$times10^5 T^{1.5}$ W/m^2K, which is approaching the expected ballistic phonon thermal conductance for two-dimensional graphene sheets. Our results not only clarify the ambiguity in the thermal conductance, but also demonstrate the potential of Cu-CVD graphene for heat related applications.
Recent experiments have shown surprisingly large thermal time constants in suspended graphene ranging from 10 to 100 ns in drums with a diameter ranging from 2 to 7 microns. The large time constants and their scaling with diameter points towards a thermal resistance at the edge of the drum. However, an explanation of the microscopic origin of this resistance is lacking. Here, we show how phonon scattering at a kink in the graphene, e.g. formed by sidewall adhesion at the edge of the suspended membrane, can cause a large thermal time constant. This kink strongly limits the fraction of flexural phonons that cross the suspended graphene edge, which causes a thermal interface resistance at its boundary. Our model predicts thermal time constants that are of the same order of magnitude as experimental data, and shows a similar dependence on the circumference. Furthermore, the model predicts the relative in-plane and out-of-plane phonon contributions to graphenes thermal expansion force, in agreement with experiments. We thus show, that in contrast to conventional thermal (Kapitza) resistance which occurs between two different materials, in 2D materials another type of thermal interface resistance can be geometrically induced in a single material.
We develop the plasmon-pole approximation (PPA) theory for calculating the carrier self-energy of extrinsic graphene as a function of doping density within analytical approximations to the $GW$ random phase approximation ($GW$-RPA). Our calculated self-energy shows excellent quantitative agreement with the corresponding full $GW$-RPA calculation results in spite of the simplicity of the PPA, establishing the general validity of the plasmon-pole approximation scheme. We also provide a comparison between the PPA and the hydrodynamic approximation in graphene, and comment on the experimental implications of our findings.
