Abstract
Raman measurements were performed on KC12n (n=2 ≈ 6) in the very low frequency region (10 ≈ 50 cm-1) at room temperature. We assign the observed Raman peaks to the folded k≈0 phonons from the c-axis transverse acoustic branch of pristine graphite. A simple linear chain model was used to deduce the shearing force constants between the layers.
