The stress dependence of the most relevant Raman features of graphite has been analysed in detail under compressive biaxial stresses up to 5 GPa. To our knowledge, our experimental results for the stress dependence of the bands D, D0 , (T + D), (D + G), 2G, 2D0 are the first reported so far. Our Raman experiments complemented with DFT calculations of phonon dispersion curves as a function of stress, show different stress slopes for the resonant modes D and D0 . This confirms that previous assignments to the iTO and LO phonon branches, respectively, also hold under stress conditions. A complete set of Gru¨neisen parameters are also provided for all the Raman features of graphite using the stress dependencies of the frequencies as obtained from a second derivative analysis of the measured Raman spectra. Our results show that the D band and its overtones present larger Gru¨neisen parameters than the G band. Again, some results are reported here for the first time here
Let us think practically of the case of graphite or high-quality multilayer graphene (~500 layers). So, there is no defect (D) peak in the Raman spectrum. Then, the most intense peak is G-peak. Can you tell me the Gruneisen parameter for the G-peak in that case so that we can know about the biaxial strain response when looking at its vibrational properties?
