Probing the electronic structure of bilayer graphene by Raman scattering

TLDR
In this paper, the electronic structure of bilayer graphene was investigated from a resonant Raman study of the band using different laser excitation energies, revealing the difference of the effective masses of electrons and holes.
Abstract
The electronic structure of bilayer graphene is investigated from a resonant Raman study of the ${G}^{\ensuremath{'}}$ band using different laser excitation energies. The values of the parameters of the Slonczewski-Weiss-McClure model for bilayer graphene are obtained from the analysis of the dispersive behavior of the Raman features, and reveal the difference of the effective masses of electrons and holes. The splitting of the two TO phonon branches in bilayer graphene is also obtained from the experimental data. Our results have implications for bilayer graphene electronic devices.

Raman spectrum of graphene and graphene layers.

TL;DR: This work shows that graphene's electronic structure is captured in its Raman spectrum that clearly evolves with the number of layers, and allows unambiguous, high-throughput, nondestructive identification of graphene layers, which is critically lacking in this emerging research area.

The Band Theory of Graphite

TL;DR: In this paper, the structure of the electronic energy bands and Brillouin zones for graphite was developed using the "tight binding" approximation, and it was found that graphite is a semi-conductor with zero activation energy, but they are created at higher temperatures by excitation to a band contiguous to the highest one which is normally filled.
