PHONON DISPERSION OF GRAPHENE REVISITED
Sahoo R., Mishra R.R.
Received: August 16, 2011
The phonon dispersion of graphene is derived by using a simple mass spring model and considering up to the first, second, third, and fourth nearest-neighbor interactions. The results obtained from different nearest-neighbor interactions are compared and it is shown that the k2 dependence for the out-of-plane transverse acoustic mode obtained in other sophisticated methods as well as experiment occurs only after considering the fourth nearest-neighbor interaction.
