Theory of infrared double-resonance Raman spectrum in graphene: The role of the zone-boundary electron-phonon enhancement
Lorenzo Graziotto, Francesco Macheda, Thibault Sohier, Matteo Calandra, Francesco Mauri
Abstract
We theoretically investigate the double-resonance Raman spectrum of monolayer graphene down to infrared laser excitation energies. By using first-principles density functional theory calculations, we improve upon previous theoretical predictions based on conical models or tight-binding approximations, and rigorously justify the evaluation of the electron-phonon enhancement found in Venanzi, Graziotto et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 130, 256901 (2023)]. We proceed to discuss the effects of such enhancement on the room-temperature graphene resistivity, hinting towards a possible reconciliation of theoretical and experimental discrepancies.
