Layer number determination in graphene using out-of-plane vibrations    [PDF]

Felix Herziger, Patrick May, Janina Maultzsch
We present a double-resonant Raman mode in few-layer graphene, which is able to probe the number of graphene layers reliably. This so-called N mode on the low-frequency side of the G mode results from a double-resonant Stokes/anti-Stokes process combining a LO and a ZO' phonon. Simulations of the double-resonant Raman spectra in bilayer graphene show very good agreement with the experiments. The investigation of the out-of-plane ZO' phonon for layer number determination is expected to be transferable to other layered materials like boron nitride.
