Abstract:
We investigated the temperature dependence of the frequency of G peak in the Raman spectra of graphene on Si/SiO2 substrates. The micro-Raman spectroscopy was carried out under the 488 nm laser excitation over the temperature range from -190 to +100 degrees C. The extracted value of the temperature coefficient of G mode of graphene is chi = -0.016 cm-1/ degrees C for the single layer and chi = -0.015 cm-1/ degrees C for the bilayer. The obtained results shed light on the anharmonic properties of graphene.

Raman Spectroscopy Instrumentation: Overview
The monochromatic laser source, typically using visible or near-infrared radiation, generates a highly focused beam of light. This light interacts with the molecules of the sample, scattering some of the light. Liquid and gaseous samples are usually tested in ordinary glass capillaries, while solids can be analyzed as powders packed in capillaries or as potassium...
