This peak scales from~43cm-1 in bulk graphite to~31cm-1 in BLG. Its low energy makes it a probe of near-Dirac point quasi-particles, with a Breit-Wigner-Fano lineshape due to resonance with electronic transitions. Similar shear modes are expected in all layered materials, providing a direct probe of interlayer interactions", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2011-06-06T18:49:11.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "bulk graphite", "near-dirac point quasi-particles", "similar shear modes", "corresponding raman peak measures", "interlayer shear mode" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "doi": "10.1038/nmat3245", "journal": "Nature Materials", "year": 2012, "month": "Apr", "volume": 11, "number": 4, "pages": 294 }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2012NatMa..11..294T" } } }
