Double-resonant Raman scattering in graphite: Interference effects, selection rules, and phonon dispersion
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a comprehensive analysis of double-resonant Raman scattering in graphite and derive an analytical expression for the Raman cross section of the D mode in one dimension. The extension to two dimensions does not change the double-resonant phonon wave vectors. In the full integration of the Raman cross section, the contributions by phonons from exactly the K point cancel due to destructive interference. We calculate the D mode explicitly based on recent experimental data of the graphite phonon dispersion. Applying the selection rules, a mapping of additional disorder-induced and second-order Raman modes onto the Brillouin zone of graphite is obtained.

Raman spectroscopy of graphite.
We present a review of the Raman spectra of graphite from an experimental and theoretical point of view. The disorder-induced Raman bands in this material have been a puzzling Raman problem for almost 30 years. Double-resonant Raman scattering explains their origin as well as the excitation-energy dependence, the overtone spectrum and the difference between Stokes and anti-Stokes scattering. We...
متن کاملProbing phonon dispersion relations of graphite by double resonance Raman scattering.
The phonon dispersion relations of graphite can be probed over a wide range of the Brillouin zone by double resonance Raman spectroscopy. The double resonance Raman process provides us with new assignments for the dispersive and nondispersive features observed in the Raman spectra of disordered graphite and carbon nanotubes, some features having been incorrectly assigned previously, or not assi...
متن کاملRaman scattering from the CaC6 superconductor in the presence of disorder
Polarized Raman scattering has been performed on CaC6 superconductor. We identify two of the three Raman-active Eg phonon modes at 440 and 1508 cm −1 expected for the R3̄m space group of CaC6. These first-order scattering modes appear along with the D and G bands around 1300 and 1600 cm−1 that are similar in origin to the corresponding bands in plain graphite. The intensities of the D and G band...
متن کاملCharacterisation of carbon nano-onions using Raman spectroscopy
Characteristics of the Raman spectrum from carbon onions have been identified in terms of the position of the G peak and appearance of the transverse optic phonon peaks. Five new peaks were observed in the low wavenumber region, at about 1100, 861, 700, 450 and 250 cm . The origins of these peaks are discussed in terms of the phonon density of states (PDOS) and phonon dispersion curves of graph...
