Beyond double-resonant Raman scattering: UV Raman spectroscopy on graphene, graphite and carbon nanotubes


الملخص بالإنكليزية

We present an analysis of deep-UV Raman measurements of graphite, graphene and carbon nanotubes. For excitation energies above the strong optical absorption peak at the $M$ point in the Brillouin zone ($approx 4.7,text{eV}$), we partially suppress double-resonant scattering processes and observe the two-phonon density of states of carbon nanomaterials. The measured peaks are assigned to contributions from LO, TO, and LA phonon branches, supported by calculations of the phonon dispersion. Moreover, we gain access to the infrared-active $E_{1u}$ mode in graphite. By lowering the excitation energy and thus allowing double-resonant scattering processes, we demonstrate the rise of the textit{2D} mode in graphite with ultra-short phonon wave vectors.
