Abstract

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 (197 meV\approx 197~\rm{meV}) 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 N2N\geq2 layer systems. In contrast, in monolayer graphene, we find that the velocity parameter increases significantly from (1.23±0.01)×106 m.s1(1.23\pm 0.01) \times 10^6~\mathrm{m.s^{-1}} up to (1.45±0.02)×106 m.s1(1.45\pm0.02) \times 10^6~\mathrm{m.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.
