Anharmonicity of the acoustic modes of graphene
arXiv:2008.08325 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.101.235436
Abstract
The anharmonicity of the acoustic phonon dispersion of graphene has been studied by the harmonic linear response (HLR) approach at finite temperature. This is a non-perturbative method based on the linear response of the system to applied forces, as derived from equilibrium computer simulations. Anharmonic shifts are analyzed in the long-wavelength limit at room temperature, with emphasis in the effect of applied tensile or compressive in-plane stress. The simulation results are compared with available analytical models, based either on first-order perturbation theory or on a description by anomalous exponents. The simulations show better agreement to the expectations of the perturbational approach. The effect of temperature and zero-point vibrations on the acoustic out-of-plane anharmonic shifts of graphene are briefly reviewed.
