Abstract

Many-body effects resulting from strong electron-electron and electron-phonon interactions play a significant role in graphene physics. We report on their manifestation in low B field magneto-phonon resonances in high-quality exfoliated single-layer and bilayer graphene encapsulated in hexagonal boron nitride. These resonances allow us to extract characteristic effective Fermi velocities, as high as 1.20 × 10(6) m/s, for the observed "dressed" Landau level transitions, as well as the broadening of the resonances, which increases with the Landau level index.

Keywords: Fermi velocity; Graphene; Landau levels; boron nitride; magneto-Raman spectroscopy.
