Phonons and Electron-Phonon Interaction in Graphene and Nanotube

Abstract

Monolayer graphene was fabricated using the so-called scotch-tape technique and the magnetotransport was measured including the integer quantum Hall effect. Since then the graphene became the subject of extensive theoretical and experimental study. The carbon nanotube is graphene rolled into a cylindrical form, discovered and synthesized earlier than graphene. The purpose of this paper is to give a brief review on phonons and effects of electron-phonon interaction in graphene and nanotubes.
