Abstract
In this work, a study of resonance effects in the Raman spectra of
twisted bilayer graphene (tBLG) is presented. The analysis takes into
account the effect of the mismatch angle theta between the two layers,
and also of the excitation laser energy on the frequency, linewidth, and
intensity of the main Raman features, namely the rotationally induced R
band, the G band, and the second-order G' (or 2D) band. The resonance
effects are explained based on the theta dependence of the tBLG
electronic structure, as calculated by ab initio methodologies. The
twist angle theta also defines the observation of a ``D-like'' band
which obeys the double-resonance process, but relies on the superlattice
along with long-range defects in order to fulfill momentum conservation.
The study was possible due to the development of a route to produce and
identify rotationally stacked bilayer graphene by means of atomic force
microscopy (AFM).
