摘要:

我们从理论上研究了石墨烯、双层石墨烯和扭曲双层石墨烯的比热,同时考虑了每个极化分支的精确声子色散和态密度。结果表明,与传统的认为,面外声学声子的色散-称为ZA声子-偏离强烈的抛物线定律从低至~100 1/cm的频率开始。这导致了ZA声子态密度随频率的变化和比热与温度T的线性关系的破坏。我们建立了ZA声子决定的比热为T<200 K,而在200 K < T < 500 K,来自面内和面外声学声子的贡献是占主导地位的。在高温极限T>1000 K时,光学声子和声学声子对比热的贡献大致相等。石墨烯和扭曲双层石墨烯的德拜温度计算为约1861 - 1864 K。我们的研究结果表明,双层石墨烯等材料的热力学性质可以通过sp2-碳平面的旋转在原子尺度上进行控制。

英文摘要:

We investigated theoretically the specific heat of graphene, bilayer graphene and twisted bilayer graphene taking into account the exact phonon dispersion and density of states for each polarization branch. It is shown that contrary to a conventional believe the dispersion of the out-of-plane acoustic phonons - referred to as ZA phonons - deviates strongly from a parabolic law starting from the frequencies as low as ~100 1/cm. This leads to the frequency-dependent ZA phonon density of states and the breakdown of the linear dependence of the specific heat on temperature T. We established that ZA phonons determine the specific heat for T<200 K while contributions from both in-plane and out-of-plane acoustic phonons are dominant for 200 K < T < 500 K. In the high-temperature limit, T>1000 K, the optical and acoustic phonons contribute approximately equally to the specific heat. The Debye temperature for graphene and twisted bilayer graphene was calculated to be around ~1861 - 1864 K. Our results suggest that the thermodynamic properties of materials such as bilayer graphene can be controlled at the atomic scale by rotation of the sp2-carbon planes.
