Massive Dirac Fermions Signal in Raman Spectrum of Graphene

Abstract

Massless Dirac fermions in graphene can acquire a mass through different kinds of sublattice-symmetry-breaking perturbations, and there is a growing need to determine this mass using a conventional method. We describe how the mass caused by a staggered sublattice potential is determined using Raman spectroscopy and explain the mechanism in terms of the pseudospin polarization of massive Dirac fermions.
