Time-resolved Raman Spectroscopy of Optical Phonons in Graphite: Phonon Anharmonic Coupling and Anomalous Stiffening

DOI：: 10.1103/PhysRevB.80.121403

英文摘要：

Time-resolved Raman spectroscopy has been applied to probe the anharmonic coupling and electron-phonon interaction of optical phonons in graphite. From the decay of the transient anti-Stokes scattering of the G-mode following ultrafast excitation, we measured a lifetime of 2.2+/-0.1ps for zone-center optical phonons. We also observed a transient stiffening of G-mode phonons, an effect attributed to the reduction of the electron-phonon coupling for high electronic temperatures.

Temperature dependence of the anharmonic decay of optical phonons in carbon nanotubes and graphite

We report on the temperature dependence of the anharmonic decay rate of zone-center (G mode) optical phonons in both single-walled carbon nanotubes and graphite. The measurements are performed using a pump-probe Raman scattering scheme with femtosecond laser pulses. For nanotubes, measured over a temperature range of 6 K-700 K, we observe little temperature dependence of the decay rate below room temperature. Above 300 K, the decay rate increases from 0.8 to 1.7 ps-1. The decay rates observed for graphite range from 0.5 to 0.8 ps-1 for temperatures from 300 K-700 K. We compare the behavior obs…

Phonon anharmonicities in graphite and graphene

We determine from first-principles the finite-temperature properties--linewidths, line shifts, and lifetimes--of the key vibrational modes that dominate inelastic losses in graphitic materials. In graphite, the phonon linewidth of the Raman-active E2g mode is found to decrease with temperature; such anomalous behavior is driven entirely by electron-phonon interactions, and does not appear in the nearly-degenerate infrared-active E1u mode. In graphene, the phonon anharmonic lifetimes and decay channels of the A'1 mode at K dominate over E2g at G and couple strongly with acoustic phonons, highli…

Anharmonic properties from a generalized third order ab~initio approach: theory and applications to graphite and graphene

We have implemented a generic method, based on the 2n+1 theorem within density functional perturbation theory, to calculate the anharmonic scattering coefficients among three phonons with arbitrary wavevectors. The method is used to study the phonon broadening in graphite and graphene mono- and bi-layer. The broadening of the high-energy optical branches is highly nonuniform and presents a series of sudden steps and spikes. At finite temperature, the two linearly dispersive acoustic branches TA and LA of graphene have nonzero broadening for small wavevectors. The broadening in graphite and bi-…

Anharmonic Phonons and Anomalous Thermal Expansion of Graphite

We have investigated the anisotropic thermal expansion of graphite using ab-initio calculation of lattice dynamics and anharmonicity of the phonons, which reveal that the negative thermal expansion (NTE) in the a-b plane below 600 K and very large positive thermal expansion along the c-axis up to high temperatures arise due to various phonons polarized along the c-axis. While the NTE arises from the anharmonicity of transverse phonons over a broad energy range up to 60 meV, the large positive expansion along the c-axis occurs largely due to the longitudinal optic phonon modes around 16 meV and…

Ultrafast Electron-Phonon Decoupling in Graphite

We report the ultrafast dynamics of the 47.4 THz coherent phonons of graphite interacting with a photoinduced non-equilibrium electron-hole plasma. Unlike conventional materials, upon photoexcitation the phonon frequency of graphite upshifts, and within a few picoseconds relaxes to the stationary value. Our first-principles density functional calculations demonstrate that the phonon stiffening stems from the light-induced decoupling of the non-adiabatic electron-phonon interaction by creating the non-equilibrium electron-hole plasma. Time-resolved vibrational spectroscopy provides a window on …

3D strain in 2D materials: Experimental test in unsupported monolayer graphene under pressure

Previous Raman measurements on supported graphene under high pressure reported a very different shift rate of in-plane phonon frequency of graphene (16 cm$^{-1}$GPa$^{-1}$) from graphite (4.7 cm$^{-1}$GPa$^{-1}$), implying very different in-plane anharmonicity that graphene gets stiffer than graphite in-plane under the same pressure. It was suggested that it could be due to the adhesion of graphene to substrates. We have therefore performed high pressure Raman measurements on unsupported graphene and we find a similar in-plane stiffness and anharmonicity of graphene (5.4 cm$^{-1}$GPa$^{-1}$) t…

Temperature evolution of infrared- and Raman-active phonons in graphite

We perform a comparative experimental and theoretical study of the temperature dependence up to 700 K of the frequency and linewidths of the graphite E1u and E2g optical phonons (~1590 and 1580 cm-1) by infra-red (IR) and Raman spectroscopy. Despite their similar character, the temperature dependence of the two modes is quite different, being, e.g., the frequency shift of the IR-active E1u mode is almost twice as big as that of the Raman active E2g mode. Ab initio calculations of the anharmonic properties are in remarkable agreement with measurements and explain the observed behavior.

Single-channel or multi-channel thermal transport? Effect of higher-order anharmonic corrections on the predicted phonon thermal transport properties of semiconductors

The phonon thermal transport properties of eight ternary intermetallic semiconductors are investigated by accounting for higher-order four-phonon scattering, phonon renormalization, and multi-channel thermal transport. The commonly used lowest-order theory, which accounts only for three-phonon scattering and without phonon renormalization, fails drastically for considered materials and underpredicts the thermal conductivity by up to a factor of two. The thermal conductivity decreases for three compounds and increases for five compounds with the application of higher-order corrections owing to …

Anomalous Size Dependence of the Thermal Conductivity of Graphene Ribbons

We investigated the thermal conductivity K of graphene ribbons and graphite slabs as the function of their lateral dimensions. Our theoretical model considered the anharmonic three-phonon processes to the second-order and included the angle-dependent phonon scattering from the ribbon edges. It was found that the long mean free path of the long-wavelength acoustic phonons in graphene can lead to an unusual non-monotonic dependence of the thermal conductivity on the length L of a ribbon. The effect is pronounced for the ribbons with the smooth edges (specularity parameter p>0.5). Our results als…

Raman Scattering by sp$^2$ Amorphous Carbons

The paper presents a cooperative consideration of Raman spectra of $^2$ amorphous carbons as well as the nature and type of their amorphicity. The latter was attributed to the amorphization of a new type named as enforced fragmentation. The fragments are stable graphenous molecules, which are the basic structural units (BSUs) of the solids, determining them as amorphics with molecular structure. Due to weak intermolecular interaction, BSUs, once aggregated, are the main defendants for IR absorption and Raman scattering of the solids, just justifying the consideration of them at molecular level…
