Filling-factor-dependent magnetophonon resonance in graphene

Phys Rev Lett. 2007 Aug 24;99(8):087402. doi: 10.1103/PhysRevLett.99.087402. Epub 2007 Aug 23.

Abstract

We describe a peculiar fine structure acquired by the in-plane optical phonon at the Gamma point in graphene when it is brought into resonance with one of the inter-Landau-level transitions in this material. The effect is most pronounced when this lattice mode (associated with the G band in graphene Raman spectrum) is in resonance with inter-Landau-level transitions 0 --> +, 1 and -, 1 --> 0, at a magnetic field B{0} approximately 30 T. It can be used to measure the strength of the electron-phonon coupling directly, and its filling-factor dependence can be used experimentally to detect circularly polarized lattice vibrations.
