Prof Riichiro Saito from Tohoku University reviews his recent works on Raman spectroscopy of graphene. He discusses the resonance condition for Raman spectroscopy for each twisted bilayer graphene and also compares the calculated Raman spectroscopy with the experiments.
The lecture is free and open to all. Seating is on a first-come, first-served basis.
Raman spectroscopy is widely used in graphene and nano-carbon community though the analysis of Raman spectroscopy is somewhat too specific for non-specialists. Here starting from a general introduction of graphene, nano-carbon science and Raman spectroscopy, the speaker will overview his recent works on Raman spectroscopy of graphene.
Gate modulated Raman spectroscopy is a method of making Raman measurements while changing the Fermi energy by applying a gate voltage to the sample. By suppressing some optical processes for Raman spectra by changing the Fermi energy, people can know a lot of new information on the interplay between photon and phonon and this technique can be used directly to (1) the phonon mode assignment for combination phonon modes of single layer graphene especially for intermediate phonon frequencies, (2) controlling so-called electronic Rama spectra and its quantum interference effects and (3) the information of the interlayer interactions between two layers of the bilayer graphene.
Another topic is Raman spectroscopy of twisted bilayer graphene. Starting from the definition of the structure of twisted bilayer graphene, the speaker will discuss the resonance condition for Raman spectroscopy for each twisted bilayer graphene. He will also compare the calculated Raman spectroscopy with the experiments.
