▎ 摘  要

Few-layer graphene (FLG) samples prepared by two methods (chemical vapor deposition (CVD) followed by transfer onto SiO2/Si substrate and mechanical exfoliation) are characterized by combined optical contrast and micro-Raman mapping experiments. We examine the behavior of the integrated intensity ratio of the 2D and G bands (A(2D)/A(G)) and of the 2D band width (Gamma(2D)) as a function of the number of layers (N). For our mechanically exfoliated FLG, A(2D)/A(G) decreases and Gamma(2D) increases with N as expected for commensurately stacked FLG. For CVD FLG, both similar and opposite behaviors are observed and are ascribed to different stacking orders. For small (respectively, large) relative rotation angle between consecutive layers (theta), the values of the A(2D)/A(G) ratio is smaller (respectively, larger) and the 2D band is broader (respectively, narrower) than for single-layer graphene. Moreover, the A(2D)/A(G) ratio decreases (respectively, increases) and, conversely, Gamma(2D) increases (respectively, decreases) as a function of N for small (respectively, large) theta. An intermediate behavior has also been found and is interpreted as the presence of both small and large theta within the studied area. These results confirm that neither A(2D)/A(G) nor Gamma(2D) are definitive criteria to identify singlelayer graphene, or to count N in FLG. (C) 2015 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim
