Abstract

We study electronic contribution to the Raman scattering signals of two-, three- and four-layer graphene with layers at one of the interfaces twisted by a small angle with respect to each other. We find that the Raman spectra of these systems feature two peaks produced by van Hove singularities in moir\'{e} minibands of twistronic graphene, one related to direct hybridization of Dirac states, and the other resulting from band folding caused by moir\'{e} superlattice. The positions of both peaks strongly depend on the twist angle, so that their detection can be used for non-invasive characterization of the twist, even in hBN-encapsulated structures.<br />Comment: 7 pages (including 4 figures) + 10 pages (3 figures) supplement
