First-principles studies of the electron-phonon coupling in graphene predict a high coupling strength for the $\sigma$ band with $\lambda$ values of up to 0.9. Near the top of the $\sigma$ band, $\lambda$ is found to be $\approx 0.7$. This…

Quantised lattice vibrations (i.e., phonons) in solids are robust and unambiguous fingerprints of crystal structures and of their symmetry properties. In metals and semimetals, strong electron-phonon coupling may lead to so-called Kohn…

A Raman study of a back gated bilayer graphene sample is presented. The changes in the Fermi level induced by charge transfer splits the Raman G-band, hardening its higher component and softening the lower one. These two components are…
