We make use of micro-magneto Raman scattering spectroscopy to probe magneto-phonon resonances (MPR) in suspended mono- to penta-layer graphene. MPR correspond to avoided crossings between zone-center optical phonons (G-mode) and optically-active inter Landau level (LL) transitions and provide a tool to perform LL spectroscopy at a fixed energy (≈197meV) set by the G-mode phonon. Using a single-particle effective bilayer model, we readily extract the velocity parameter associated with each MPR. A single velocity parameter slightly above the bulk graphite value suffices to fit all MPR for N≥2 layer systems. In contrast, in monolayer graphene, we find that the velocity parameter increases significantly from (1.23±0.01)×106m.s−1 up to (1.45±0.02)×106m.s−1 as the first to third optically-active inter LL transition couple to the G-mode phonon. This result is understood as a signature of enhanced many-body effects in unscreened graphene.
