The phonon spectra exhibit unusual asymmetric features characteristic of Fano resonances, which depend critically on the layer thickness and stacking order of the sample. The phonon intensities in samples with rhombohedral (ABC) stacking are significantly higher than those with Bernal (AB) stacking. These observations reflect the strong coupling between phonons and interband electronic transitions in these systems and the distinctive variation in the joint density of electronic states in samples of differing thickness and stacking order.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2011-09-28T23:08:09.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "73.22.Pr", "63.20.kd", "63.22.Rc", "78.67.Wj" ], "keywords": [ "structurally dependent fano resonances", "few-layer graphene", "infrared spectra", "unusual asymmetric features characteristic", "stacking order" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Physical Review Letters", "doi": "10.1103/PhysRevLett.108.156801", "year": 2012, "month": "Apr", "volume": 108, "number": 15, "pages": 156801 }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 20, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2012PhRvL.108o6801L" } } }
